The Energy Model (EM) is going to support runtime modification. There
are going to be 2 EM tables which store information. This patch aims
to prepare the code to be generic and use one of the tables. The function
will no longer get a pointer to 'struct em_perf_domain' (the EM) but
instead a pointer to 'struct em_perf_state' (which is one of the EM's
tables).

Prepare em_pd_get_efficient_state() for the upcoming changes and
make it possible to re-use. Return an index for the best performance
state for a given EM table. The function arguments that are introduced
should allow to work on different performance state arrays. The caller of
em_pd_get_efficient_state() should be able to use the index either
on the default or the modifiable EM table.

nitpicking but s/i/state/

Here it makes sense, I'll try to use 'state', but if that could be a bit
odd in later patches code, where I have:

ps = &runtime_table->state[i];

than:

'->state[state]'

won't fly. Although, let me check, because I'm going to drop the
2 tables design so some fields might get different names.


Other than that:
