cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix unsafe HWP MSR access

This is a requirement that MSR MSR_PM_ENABLE must be set to 0x01 before
reading MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES on a given CPU. If cpufreq init() is
scheduled on a CPU which is not same as policy->cpu or migrates to a
different CPU before calling msr read for MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES, it
is possible that MSR_PM_ENABLE was not to set to 0x01 on that CPU.
This will cause GP fault. So like other places in this path
rdmsrl_on_cpu should be used instead of rdmsrl.

Moreover the scope of MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES is on per thread basis, so it
should be read from the same CPU, for which MSR MSR_HWP_REQUEST is
getting set.
