Revert "cpufreq: schedutil: Don't restrict kthread to related_cpus unnecessarily"

This reverts commit 5e08abc6351e7389e3f22d6c40c5e44a8f1111db.

Lifting the restriction that the sugov kthread is bound to the
policy->related_cpus for a system with a slow switching cpufreq driver,
which is able to perform DVFS from any cpu (e.g. cpufreq-dt), is not
only not beneficial it also harms Enery-Aware Scheduling (EAS) on
systems with asymmetric cpu capacities (e.g. Arm big.LITTLE).

The sugov kthread which does the update for the little cpus could
potentially run on a big cpu. It could prevent that the big cluster goes
into deeper idle states although all the tasks are running on the little
cluster.

Example: hikey960 w/ 4.16.0-rc6-+
         Arm big.LITTLE with per-cluster DVFS

root@h960:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "^CPU part"
CPU part        : 0xd03 (Cortex-A53, little cpu)
CPU part        : 0xd03
CPU part        : 0xd03
CPU part        : 0xd03
CPU part        : 0xd09 (Cortex-A73, big cpu)
CPU part        : 0xd09
CPU part        : 0xd09
CPU part        : 0xd09

root@h960:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq# ls
policy0  policy4  schedutil

root@h960:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq# cat policy*/related_cpus
0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7

(1) w/o the revert:

root@h960:~# ps -eo pid,class,rtprio,pri,psr,comm | awk 'NR == 1 ||
/sugov/'
  PID CLS RTPRIO PRI PSR COMMAND
  1489 #6      0 140   1 sugov:0
  1490 #6      0 140   0 sugov:4

The sugov kthread sugov:4 responsible for policy4 runs on cpu0. (In this
case both sugov kthreads run on little cpus).

cross policy (cluster) remote callback example:
...
migration/1-14 [001] enqueue_task_fair: this_cpu=1 cpu_of(rq)=5
migration/1-14 [001] sugov_update_shared: this_cpu=1 sg_cpu->cpu=5
                     sg_cpu->sg_policy->policy->related_cpus=4-7
  sugov:4-1490 [000] sugov_work: this_cpu=0
                     sg_cpu->sg_policy->policy->related_cpus=4-7
...

The remote callback (this_cpu=1, target_cpu=5) is executed on cpu=0.

(2) w/ the revert:

root@h960:~# ps -eo pid,class,rtprio,pri,psr,comm | awk 'NR == 1 ||
/sugov/'
  PID CLS RTPRIO PRI PSR COMMAND
  1491 #6      0 140   2 sugov:0
  1492 #6      0 140   4 sugov:4

The sugov kthread sugov:4 responsible for policy4 runs on cpu4.

cross policy (cluster) remote callback example:
...
migration/1-14 [001] enqueue_task_fair: this_cpu=1 cpu_of(rq)=7
migration/1-14 [001] sugov_update_shared: this_cpu=1 sg_cpu->cpu=7
                     sg_cpu->sg_policy->policy->related_cpus=4-7
  sugov:4-1492 [004] sugov_work: this_cpu=4
                     sg_cpu->sg_policy->policy->related_cpus=4-7
...

The remote callback (this_cpu=1, target_cpu=7) is executed on cpu=4.

Now the sugov kthread executes again on the policy (cluster) for which
the Operating Performance Point (OPP) should be changed.
It avoids the problem that an otherwise idle policy (cluster) is running
schedutil (the sugov kthread) for another one.
