Usually, sysfs attributes have .show and .store and their naming
convention is filename_show() and filename_store().

But in cpufreq the naming convention of these functions is
show_filename() and store_filename() which prevents __ATTR_RW() and
__ATTR_RO() from being used in there to simplify code.

Accordingly, change the naming convention of the sysfs .show and
.store methods in cpufreq to follow the one expected by __ATTR_RW()
and __ATTR_RO() and use these macros in that code.

<title>cpufreq: use default_groups in kobj_type</title>

There are currently 2 ways to create a set of sysfs files for a
kobj_type, through the default_attrs field, and the default_groups
field.  Move the cpufreq code to use default_groups field which has been
the preferred way since aa30f47cf666 ("kobject: Add support for default
attribute groups to kobj_type") so that we can soon get rid of the
obsolete default_attrs field.

<title>cpufreq: Register governors at core_initcall</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently, most CPUFreq governors are registered at the core_initcall
time when the given governor is the default one, and the module_init
time otherwise.

In preparation for letting users specify the default governor on the
kernel command line, change all of them to be registered at the
core_initcall unconditionally, as it is already the case for the
schedutil and performance governors. This will allow us to assume
that builtin governors have been registered before the built-in
CPUFreq drivers probe.

And since all governors have similar init/exit patterns now, introduce
two new macros, cpufreq_governor_{init,exit}(), to factorize the code.

If the policy limits change between invocations of cs_dbs_update(),
the requested frequency value stored in dbs_info may not be updated
and the function may use a stale value of it next time.  Moreover, if
idle periods are takem into account by cs_dbs_update(), the requested
frequency value stored in dbs_info may be below the min policy limit,
which is incorrect.

To fix these problems, always update the requested frequency value
in dbs_info along with the local copy of it when the previous
requested frequency is beyond the policy limits and avoid decreasing
the requested frequency below the min policy limit when taking
idle periods into account.

The cpufreq core and governors aren't supposed to set a limit on how
fast we want to try changing the frequency. This is currently done for
the legacy governors with help of min_sampling_rate.

At worst, we may end up setting the sampling rate to a value lower than
the rate at which frequency can be changed and then one of the CPUs in
the policy will be only changing frequency for ever.

But that is something for the user to decide and there is no need to
have special handling for such cases in the core. Leave it for the user
to figure out.

Commit 27ed3cd2ebf4 (cpufreq: conservative: Fix the logic in frequency
decrease checking) removed the 10 point substraction when comparing the
load against down_threshold but did not remove the related limit for the
down_threshold value.  As a result, down_threshold lower than 11 is not
allowed even though values from 1 to 10 do work correctly too. The
comment ("cannot be lower than 11 otherwise freq will not fall") also
does not apply after removing the substraction.

For this reason, allow down_threshold to take any value from 1 to 99
and fix the related comment.
