Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Restore cached EPP value during offline

From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

Because hwp_req_cached contains the effective EPP value (0) when the
"performance" scaling algorithm is used in the active mode, replace
it with the cached EPP value during CPU offline to prevent it from
being used (unexpectedly) after switching over from the active mode
to the passive mode.

Also rename intel_pstate_hwp_force_min_perf() because it will do more
than just forcing the minimum performance now.
