[CPUFREQ] ondemand/conservative: sanitize sampling_rate restrictions

Browse source 
Limit sampling rate to transition_latency * 100 or kernel limits.
If sampling_rate is tried to be set too low, set the lowest allowed value.

sampling_rate: measured in uS (10^-6 seconds), this is how often you

transition_latency * 1000
The lowest value you can set is:
transition_latency * 100 or it may get restricted to a value where it
makes not sense for the kernel anymore to poll that often which depends
on your HZ config variable (HZ=1000: max=20000us, HZ=250: max=5000).
Be aware that transition latency is in ns and sampling_rate is in us, so you
get the same sysfs value by default.
Sampling rate should always get adjusted considering the transition latency
To set the sampling rate 750 times as high as the transition latency
in the bash (as said, 1000 is default), do:
echo `$(($(cat cpuinfo_transition_latency) * 750 / 1000)) \
