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

Modify acpi_processor_get_platform_limit() to avoid updating its
frequency QoS request when the _PPC return value has not changed
by comparing that value to the previous _PPC return value stored in
the performance_platform_limit field of the struct acpi_processor
corresponding to the given CPU.

While at it, do the _PPC return value check against the state count
earlier to avoid setting performance_platform_limit to an invalid value.

v1 -> v2:
   * New patch.
   * Contains some changes from the previous [1/2] and a change to reset
     performance_platform_limit on QoS request creation.
