[PATCH 2/6] drivers base/arch_topology: frequency-invariant load-tracking support

Implements an arch-specific frequency-scaling function
topology_get_freq_scale() which provides the following frequency
scaling factor:

  current_freq(cpu) << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT / max_supported_freq(cpu)

The debug output in init_cpu_capacity_callback() has been changed to be
able to distinguish whether cpu capacity and max frequency or only max
frequency has been set. The latter case happens on systems where there
is no or broken cpu capacity binding (cpu node property
capacity-dmips-mhz) information.

One possible consumer of this is the Per-Entity Load Tracking (PELT)
mechanism of the task scheduler.
