cpufreq: amd-pstate: Enable amd-pstate preferred core support
amd-pstate driver utilizes the functions and data structures provided by the ITMT architecture to enable the scheduler to favor scheduling on cores which can be get a higher frequency with lower voltage. We call it amd-pstate preferrred core. Here sched_set_itmt_core_prio() is called to set priorities and sched_set_itmt_support() is called to enable ITMT feature. amd-pstate driver uses the highest performance value to indicate the priority of CPU. The higher value has a higher priority. The initial core rankings are set up by amd-pstate when the system boots. Add a variable hw_prefcore in cpudata structure. It will check if the processor and power firmware support preferred core feature. Add one new early parameter `disable` to allow user to disable the preferred core. Only when hardware supports preferred core and user set `enabled` in early parameter, amd pstate driver supports preferred core featue.
