cpufreq: intel_pstate: Correct frequency setting in the HWP mode

Browse source 
In the functions intel_pstate_hwp_set(), min/max range from HWP capability
MSR along with max_perf_pct and min_perf_pct, is used to set the HWP
request MSR. In some cases this doesn't result in the correct HWP max/min
in HWP request.

For example: In the following case:

HWP capabilities from MSR 0x771
0x70a1220

Here cpufreq min/max frequencies from above MSR dump are 700MHz and 3.2GHz
respectively.

This will result in
hwp_min = 0x07
hwp_max = 0x20

To limit max frequency to 2GHz:

perf_limits->max_perf_pct = 63 (2GHz as a percent of 3.2GHz rounded up)

With the current calculation:
adj_range = max_perf_pct * range / 100;
adj_range = 63 * (32 - 7) / 100
adj_range = 15

max = hw_min + adj_range;
max = 7 + 15 = 22

This will result in HWP request of 0x160f, which will result in a
frequency cap of 2.2GHz not 2GHz.

The problem with the above calculation is that hwp_min of 7 is treated
as 0% in the range. But max_perf_pct is calculated with respect to minimum
as 0 and max as 3.2GHz or hwp_max, so adding hwp_min to it will result in
more than the desired.

Since the min_perf_pct and max_perf_pct is already a percent of max
frequency or hwp_max, this min/max HWP request value can be calculated
directly applying these percentage to hwp_max.
