cpufreq: stats: Handle the case when trans_table goes beyond PAGE_SIZE

Browse source 
On platforms with large number of Pstates, the transition table, which
is a NxN matrix, can overflow beyond the PAGE_SIZE boundary.

This can be seen on POWER9 which has 100+ Pstates.

As a result, each time the trans_table is read for any of the CPUs, we
will get the following error.

---------------------------------------------------
fill_read_buffer: show+0x0/0xa0 returned bad count
---------------------------------------------------

This patch ensures that in case of an overflow, we print a warning
once in the dmesg and return FILE TOO LARGE error for this and all
subsequent accesses of trans_table.

Freq_j is in descending order with increasing columns. The output here also
contains the actual freq values for each row and column for better readability.
If the transition table is bigger than PAGE_SIZE, reading this will
return an -EFBIG error.
