cpufreq: arm-big-little: don't use cpu_last_req_freq for MP
While getting support for In-Kernel-Switcher in big LITTLE cpufreq driver we introduced cpu_last_req_freq per-cpu variable that stores the last frequency requested for a cpu. It was important for IKS as CPUs in the same cluster can have separate struct cpufreq_policy associated with them and so cpufreq core may try to set different frequencies on both CPUs of same cluster. But for non-IKS solution or MP we don't need to cache last requested frequency. Currently there is a bug in code where if cpufreq_driver->get() is called for any cpu other than policy->cpu, we are returning 0, because we set cpu_last_req_freq only for policy->cpu and not for others. This problem could have been fixed by setting cpu_last_req_freq for all CPUs in policy->cpus, but that wouldn't be the best solution. Purpose of cpufreq_driver->get() is to get exact frequency from the hardware instead of returning cached frequency that was last requested as that is already present with the core. Hence, this patch forces only IKS to use cpu_last_req_freq and not MP. We will get the frequency from hardware when ->get() is called for MP.
