[PATCH v3] arm64: topology: add source check in arch_cpu_idle_enter()

arch_cpu_idle_enter() directly calls amu_scale_freq_tick() to update
arch_freq_scale when a CPU enters idle. This bypasses the sft_data
pointer check that topology_clear_scale_freq_source() relies on.
As a result, even after calling topology_clear_scale_freq_source()
with SCALE_FREQ_SOURCE_ARCH to disable AMU-based frequency scaling,
the arch_freq_scale value can still be modified by AMU counters when
the CPU goes idle through the arch_cpu_idle_enter() path.
Add topology_is_scale_freq_source() helper to check whether a specific
frequency scaling source is currently registered for a CPU. Use it
in arch_cpu_idle_enter() to verify that AMU is the active source
before calling amu_scale_freq_tick().
This ensures that topology_clear_scale_freq_source() properly
disables AMU updates in both the tick path (already handled by
topology_scale_freq_tick()) and the idle path.
