Subject: [PATCH -next] cpufreq: userspace: Keep the current frequency when set userspace policy

When switching to the userspace policy, if the current frequency is within
the range of policy's min and max values, the current frequency value
should be remained. The .limit() function is called when changing governor
or updating governor limits, so in both cases, there is no need to update
frequency if the current frequency does not exceed the threshold.

Additionally, when changing to userspace governor, the default value of
set_speed is set by reading the current frequency of the CPU, but there
is inevitable error between the frequency coming from .get_rate() interface
and the actual working frequency. Consequently, when switching to userspace
policy, keeping the current frequency can avoid unexpected changes.
