cpufreq: schedutil: Fix superfluous updates caused by need_freq_update
A redundant frequency update is only truly needed when there is a policy limits change with a driver that specifies CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS. In spite of that, drivers specifying CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS receive a frequency update _all the time_, not just for a policy limits change, because need_freq_update is never cleared. Furthermore, ignore_dl_rate_limit()'s usage of need_freq_update also leads to a redundant frequency update, regardless of whether or not the driver specifies CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS, when the next chosen frequency is the same as the current one. Fix the superfluous updates by only honoring CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS when there's a policy limits change, and clearing need_freq_update when a requisite redundant update occurs. This is neatly achieved by moving up the CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS test and instead setting need_freq_update to false in sugov_update_next_freq().
