[PATCH 5.4 096/214] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix EPP setting via sysfs in active mode

[ Upstream commit de002c55cadfc2f6cdf0ed427526f6085d240238 ]

Because intel_pstate_set_energy_pref_index() reads and writes the
MSR_HWP_REQUEST register without using the cached value of it used by
intel_pstate_hwp_boost_up() and intel_pstate_hwp_boost_down(), those
functions may overwrite the value written by it and so the EPP value
set via sysfs may be lost.

To avoid that, make intel_pstate_set_energy_pref_index() take the
cached value of MSR_HWP_REQUEST just like the other two routines
mentioned above and update it with the new EPP value coming from
user space in addition to updating the MSR.

Note that the MSR itself still needs to be updated too in case
hwp_boost is unset or the boosting mechanism is not active at the
EPP change time.
