[PATCH] intel_pstate: Change busy calculation to use fixed point math.

[dirk . brandewie]

From: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.j.brandewie@xxxxxxxxx>

Commit fcb6a15c2e Take core C0 time into account for core busy calculation.

Introduced a regression on some processor SKUs supported by
intel_pstate. This was caused by the truncation caused by using
integer math to calculate core busy and C0 percentages.

On a i7-4770K processor operating at 800Mhz going to 100% utilization
the percent busy of the CPU using integer math is 22% it actually is
22.85%.  This value scaled to the current frequency returned 97 which
the PID interpreted as no error and did not adjust the P state.

Tested on i7-4770K, i7-2600, i5-3230M
