Subject: [PATCH 2/4] PM / devfreq: add possibility for delayed work

Current devfreq workqueue uses deferred timer. Introduce sysfs
file delayed_timer and use it for change from deferred to
delayed work. The default is to use old deferred one, which
saves power, but can miss increased demand for higher bus
frequency if timer was assigned to idle cpu.
