Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: intel_pstate: fix pstate limits enforcement for adjust_perf call back

There is a loophole in pstate limit clamping for the intel_cpufreq CPU
frequency scaling driver (intel_pstate in passive mode), schedutil CPU
frequency scaling governor, HWP (HardWare Pstate) control enabled, when
the adjust_perf call back path is used.

Fix it.
