  Address an untested error where the nominal_freq was returned in KHz
instead of the correct MHz units, this oversight led to a wrong
nominal_freq set and resued, it will cause the max frequency of core to
be initialized with a wrong frequency value.

The _CPC object on my Zen2 EPYC server which has CPPC v3, I see :
            0x00000190,			//LowestFrequency 
            0x000007D0			//NominalFrequency
        })
    }
 
where 0x7D0 is 2000 Mhz. Thus the value returend by cppc_perf.nominal_freq is in Mhz.

In this patch, we are changing making amd_get_nominal_freq() return
2000 (Mhz) instead of 2000000 (Khz) as it was doing previously.

amd_get_min_freq(), amd_get_max_freq(),
amd_get_lowest_nonlinear_perf() -all these functions return the
frequency in Khz units.

These functions are used the initialize the value of
cpudata->max_freq, cpu_data->min_freq, .... all of which are in Khz
units.

In, amd_pstate_set_boost(), we have:
 
 
	if (state)
		policy->cpuinfo.max_freq = cpudata->max_freq;  <---- In Khz
	else
		policy->cpuinfo.max_freq = cpudata->nominal_freq; <--- Now in Mhz

Since policy->cpuinfo.max_freq is expected to be in Khz, isn't this
patch introducing an error ? Or perhaps this patch series is based on
another patchset ?
