Subject: [PATCH V4 6/7] cpufreq: conservative: Update sample_delay_ns immediately
Ondemand governor already updates sample_delay_ns immediately on updates
to sampling rate, but conservative isn't doing that.
It was left out earlier as the code has been really complex to get that
done easily. But now things are sorted out very well, and we can follow
the same for conservative governor as well.
