[PATCH 2/3 v4] powercap, intel_rapl, implement check for minimum time window

[Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com>]

Using an small value for the time window results in a
bogus value for the time window.  For example,

[root@intel-chiefriver-03 linux]# echo 950 >
/sys/devices/virtual/powercap/intel-rapl/intel-rapl\:0/constraint_0_time_window_us;
egrep ^ /sys/devices/virtual/powercap/intel-rapl/intel-rapl\:0/constraint_0_time_window_us
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
/sys/devices/virtual/powercap/intel-rapl/intel-rapl:0/constraint_0_time_window_us:1:4501502475370496

The Intel ASDM doesn't explicitly define a minimum time window.
The MSR_RAPL_POWER_UNIT register, read during initialization, does
specify a minimum time window unit so that can be used as a lower
bound for error checking.

After this change the minimum time window is properly clamped:

[root@intel-chiefriver-03 linux]# echo 950 >
/sys/devices/virtual/powercap/intel-rapl/intel-rapl\:0/constraint_0_time_window_us;
egrep ^ /sys/devices/virtual/powercap/intel-rapl/intel-rapl\:0/constraint_0_time_window_us
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
/sys/devices/virtual/powercap/intel-rapl/intel-rapl:0/constraint_0_time_window_us:1:976
