cpufreq: interactive: Add max_freq_hysteresis feature

Previously known as sampling down factor, max_freq_hysteresis
extends the period that interactive governor will stay at policy->max.
This feature is to accommodate short idle periods in an otherwise very
intensive workload.

When the feature is enabled, it ensures that once a CPU goes to max
frequency, it doesn't reduce the frequency for max_freq_hysteresis
microseconds from the time it first goes to idle.
