Subject: [PATCH v3] scsi: ufs: Fix imprecise load calculation in devfreq window

The UFS load calculation is based on total_time and busy_time in a
devfreq window. However, the precision of both time are different.
busy_time is assigned from "jiffies" thus has different accuracy
from total_time which is assigned from ktime_get().

To guarantee the precision of load calculation, we need to

1. Align time accuracy of both devfreq_dev_status.total_time and
   devfreq_dev_status.busy_time. For example, use "ktime_get()"
   directly.

2. Align below timelines,
   - The beginning time of devfreq windows
   - The beginning of busy time in a new window
   - The end of busy time in the current window
