Subject: [PATCH] thermal: power_allocator: initialize params->sustainable_power in the bind callback

If we set the PID constants k_* via sysfs before the IPA algorithm is
triggered, the constants would be changed after IPA is triggered which
means the k_* are set fail.

The process is as follow:
set k_* via sysfs
    |
set emul_temp via sysfs(temperature > switch_on_temp)
    |
throttle()
    |
temp > switch_on
    |
allocate_power
    |
pid_controller
    |
get_sustainable_power
    |
if (sustainable_power != params->sustainable_power)
because the params->sustainable_power is not initialized first,
so params->sustainable_power = 0, the condition is true, then
call the estimate_pid_constants().
		|
	estimate_pid_constants
		|
The k_* are overwritten, the k_* we set before are invalid.

For example:
unisoc:/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 # cat policy
power_allocator
unisoc:/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 # cat temp
32722
unisoc:/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 # cat k_po
307
unisoc:/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 # cat k_pu
614
unisoc:/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 # cat k_i
61
unisoc:/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 # cat k_*
0
61
307
614

unisoc:/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 # echo 300 > k_po
unisoc:/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 # echo 600 > k_pu
unisoc:/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 # echo 60 >k_i
unisoc:/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 # cat k_*
0
60
300
600

unisoc:/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 # echo 70001 > emul_temp
unisoc:/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 # cat k_*
0
61
307
614
unisoc:/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 # echo 0 > emul_temp

This patch initializes params->sustainable_power when the governor
binds to thermal zone to avoid overwriting k_*.

The basic function won't be affected, as the k_* still can be estimated
if the sustainable_power is modified.
