Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] arm64: split counter validation function

In order for the counter validation function to be reused, split
validate_cpu_freq_invariance_counters() into:
 - freq_counters_valid(cpu) - check cpu for valid cycle counters
 - freq_inv_set_max_ratio(int cpu, u64 max_rate, u64 ref_rate) -
   generic function that sets the normalization ratio used by
   topology_scale_freq_tick()
