Subject: [PATCH v6 1/4] arch_topology: init capacity_freq_ref to 0

From: Ionela Voinescu <ionela.voinescu@....com>

It's useful to have capacity_freq_ref initialized to 0 for users of
arch_scale_freq_ref() to detect when capacity_freq_ref was not
yet set.

The only scenario affected by this change in the init value is when a
cpufreq driver is never loaded. As a result, the only setter of a
cpu scale factor remains the call of topology_normalize_cpu_scale()
from parse_dt_topology(). There we cannot use the value 0 of
capacity_freq_ref so we have to compensate for its uninitialized state.
