The function will no longer get a pointer to 'struct em_perf_domain'
but instead to 'struct em_perf_state'. It would also require to
get the number of states from 'pd->nr_perf_states'.
This is preparation for handling 2 tables:
modifiable (a) and default (b).
Then it also returns and ID not the pointer to state.
It all makes it more generic and ready for those 2 tables.

I will add that description as 'why' in the header. I wanted to
avoid mentioning in the patch description something which
is coming in the next patch.
