cpufreq/sched: Use cpu max freq rather than policy max
When we convert capacity into frequency, we used policy->max to get
the max freq of the cpu. Since this can be changed by userspace policy
or thermal events, we are potentially asking for a lower frequency
than the utilization demands.
Change over to using cpuinfo.max which is the max freq supported by
that cpu rather than the currently-chosen max. Frequency granted still
honours the max policy.
Tested by setting a userspace policy and observing the relevant vars
in a trace. In this instance, we ask for around 1ghz instead of 620MHz.
