ACPI: processor: perflib: Avoid updating frequency QoS unnecessarily

commit 99387b0 upstream.

Modify acpi_processor_get_platform_limit() to avoid updating its
frequency QoS request when the _PPC return value has not changed
by comparing that value to the previous _PPC return value stored in
the performance_platform_limit field of the struct acpi_processor
corresponding to the given CPU.

While at it, do the _PPC return value check against the state count
earlier, to avoid setting performance_platform_limit to an invalid
value, and make acpi_processor_ppc_init() use FREQ_QOS_MAX_DEFAULT_VALUE
as the "no limit" frequency QoS for consistency.
