[PATCH v1 14/16] thermal: gov_user_space: Use .trip_crossed() instead of .throttle()

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

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

Notifying user space about trip points that have not been crossed is
not particuarly useful, so modity the User Space governor to use the
.trip_crossed() callback, which is only invoked for trips that have been
crossed, instead of .throttle() that is invoked for all trips in a
thermal zone every time the zone is updated.

Note: I am not actually sure if there is user space depending on the
current behavior that can be broken by this change.

I can easily imagine trying to implement a complicated governor in user
space that will look at all of the trips in the thermal zone regardless
of whether or not they are crossed, which can be kind of helped by the
current behavior of the user space governor.

However, the total overhead caused by it is considerable and quite
arguably it may not be acceptable at least in some cases.
