Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] arm64: Provide an AMU-based version of arch_freq_get_on_cpu

With the Frequency Invariance Engine (FIE) being already wired up with
sched tick and making use of relevant (core counter and constant
counter) AMU counters, getting the current frequency for a given CPU
on supported platforms, can be achieved by utilizing the frequency scale
factor which reflects an average CPU frequency for the last tick period
length.

Notes:
    Due to [1], if merged, there might be a need to modify the patch to
    accommodate changes [1] introduces:
    
    	freq = cpufreq_get_hw_max_freq(cpu) >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT
    	to
    	freq = per_cpu(capacity_freq_ref, cpu); >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT
