Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix EPP restore after offline/online

When using performance policy, EPP value is restored to non "performance"
mode EPP after offline and online.

For example:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/energy_performance_preference
performance
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/energy_performance_preference
balance_performance

The commit 4adcf2e5829f ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Add ->offline and ->online callbacks")
optimized save restore path of the HWP request MSR, when there is no
change in the policy. Also added special processing for performance mode
EPP. If EPP has been set to "performance" by the active mode "performance"
scaling algorithm, replace that value with the cached EPP. This ends up
replacing with cached EPP during offline, which is restored during online
again.

So add a change which will set cpu_data->epp_policy to zero, when in
performance policy and has non zero epp. In this way EPP is set to zero
again.
