cpufreq/amd-pstate: Prevent the driver from loading on unsupported hardware
X86_FEATURE_HW_PSTATE indicates if the processor supports frequency
scaling or not. Without it, the driver is unusable and thus will not
load. This check also prevents the driver from loading in guests and
thus not confuse users with misleading prints.
