Subject: [RFC 6/9] sched: cpufreq: detect, process remote callbacks

From: Steve Muckle <smuckle.linux@...il.com>

A callback is considered remote if the target CPU is not the current CPU
and if it is not managed by the policy managing the current CPU or the
current CPU can't do DVFS on its behalf.

Queue the irq work for remote callbacks on the destination CPU. The irq
work will carry out the fast or slow switch as appropriate.

Signed-off-by: Steve Muckle <smuckle.linux@...il.com>
[ vk: commit log, code cleanups, introduce dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu
      and drop late callback support to avoid IPIs on remote CPUs. ]
