[Patch v6 2/2] ACPI: processor: reduce CPUFREQ thermal reduction pctg for Tegra241

Will remove the ifdef.

Ok, will use CONFIG_ARM64 instead.
I think we don't need to check for CONFIG_HAVE_ARM_SMCCC_DISCOVERY 
inside the arch call as it returns zero if the soc_id value is different 
from Tegra241.
