Subject: [PATCH v4] 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 source of time is different for both
parameters: "busy_time" is assigned from "jiffies" thus has different
accuracy from "total_time" which is assigned from ktime_get().

Besides, the time of window boundary is not exactly the same as
the starting busy time in this window if UFS is actually busy
in the beginning of the window. A similar accuracy error may also
happen for the end of busy time in current window.

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
