cpufreq: Frequency invariant scheduler load-tracking support

Implements cpufreq_scale_freq_capacity() to provide the scheduler with a
frequency scaling correction factor for more accurate load-tracking.

The factor is:

	current_freq(cpu) << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT / max_freq(cpu)

In fact, freq_scale should be a struct cpufreq_policy data member. But
this would require that the scheduler hot path (__update_load_avg()) would
have to grab the cpufreq lock. This can be avoided by using per-cpu data
initialized to SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE for freq_scale.
