The behavior introduced in commit f37a4d6b4a2c ("cpufreq: Fix per-policy
boost behavior on SoCs using cpufreq_boost_set_sw()") sets up the boost
policy incorrectly when boost has been enabled by the platform firmware
initially even if a driver sets the policy up.
This is because policy_has_boost_freq() assumes that there is a frequency
table set up by the driver and that the boost frequencies are advertised
in that table. This assumption doesn't work for acpi-cpufreq or
amd-pstate. Only use this check to enable boost if it's not already
enabled instead of also disabling it if alreayd enabled.

When boost is set for CPUs using acpi-cpufreq the policy is not
updated which can cause boost to be incorrectly not reported.

Yes, I didn't realize f37a4d6b4a2c came in 6.9, I had assumed it was
6.10. But since it's 6.9, yes if you can please add stable tag when
committing.

Applied as 6.10-rc material along with the [2/2].
I've added a Fixes: tag to the second patch and "Cc: stable" tags to
both patches.
