[PATCH v2 1/3] ACPI: processor: perflib: Use the "no limit" frequency QoS

["Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@rjwysocki.net>]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

When _PPC returns 0, it means that the CPU frequency is not limited by
the platform firmware, so make acpi_processor_get_platform_limit()
update the frequency QoS request used by it to "no limit" in that case.

This addresses a problem with limiting CPU frequency artificially on
some systems after CPU offline/online to the frequency that corresponds
to the first entry in the _PSS return package.
