Subject: [PATCH] sched: cpufreq_schedutil: maintain raw cache when next_f is
 not changed

Currently, raw cache will be reset when next_f is changed after
get_next_freq for correctness. However, it may introduce more
cycles. This patch changes it to maintain the cached value instead of
dropping it.

This is adapted from https://android-review.googlesource.com/1352810/
