[RFT][PATCH v1 3/8] cpufreq/sched: Allow .setpolicy() cpufreq drivers to enable EAS

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

Some cpufreq drivers, like intel_pstate, have built-in governors that
are used instead of regular cpufreq governors, schedutil in particular,
but they can work with EAS just fine, so allow EAS to be used with
those drivers.
