Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: powernv: Return the actual CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo

Make /proc/cpuinfo read the frequency of the CPU it is running at
instead of reading the cached value of the last requested frequency.
In conditions like WOF/throttle CPU can be running at a different
frequency than the requested frequency.
