You're right AFAICS.

For governors other than schedutil fixing that would be a matter of
adding a !CONFIG_SMP variant of update_load_avg() that will call
cpufreq_update_util() and do nothing else.  It doesn't matter what
is passed via util and max then.

In turn, schedutil should probably depend on CONFIG_SMP.
