Subject: [PATCH v2] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix scaling for hybrid capable system with disabled E-cores

Some system BIOS configuration may provide option to disable E-cores.
As part of this change, CPUID feature for hybrid (Leaf 7 sub leaf 0,
EDX[15] = 0) may not be set. But HWP performance limits will still be
using a scaling factor like any other hybrid enabled system.

The current check for applying scaling factor will fail when hybrid
CPUID feature is not set. Only way to make sure that scaling should be
applied by checking CPPC nominal frequency and nominal performance. If
CPPC nominal frequency and nominal performance is defined and nominal
frequency is not in multiples of 100MHz of nominal performance, then use
hybrid scaling factor.

The above check will fail for non hybrid capable systems as they don't
publish nominal frequency field in CPPC, so this function can be used
for all HWP systems without additional cpu model check.
