Stratos Karafotis 00bfe05889 cpufreq: conservative: Decrease frequency faster for deferred updates
Conservative governor changes the CPU frequency in steps.
That means that if a CPU runs at max frequency, it will need several
sampling periods to return to min frequency when the workload
is finished.

If the update function that calculates the load and target frequency
is deferred, the governor might need even more time to decrease the
frequency.

This may have impact to power consumption and after all conservative
should decrease the frequency if there is no workload at every sampling
rate.

To resolve the above issue calculate the number of sampling periods
that the update is deferred. Considering that for each sampling period
conservative should drop the frequency by a freq_step because the
CPU was idle apply the proper subtraction to requested frequency.

Below, the kernel trace with and without this patch. First an
intensive workload is applied on a specific CPU. Then the workload
is removed and the CPU goes to idle.
