cpufreq: schedutil: Update next_freq when cpufreq_limits change



When cpufreq's policy is 'single', there is a scenario that will
cause sg_policy's next_freq to be unable to update.

When the CPU's util is always max, the cpufreq will be max,
and then if we change the policy's scaling_max_freq to be a
lower freq, indeed, the sg_policy's next_freq need change to
be the lower freq, however, because the cpu_is_busy, the next_freq
would keep the max_freq.

For example:

The cpu7 is a single CPU:

  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # while true;do done& [1] 4737
  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # taskset -p 80 4737
  pid 4737's current affinity mask: ff
  pid 4737's new affinity mask: 80
  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_max_freq
  2301000
  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_cur_freq
  2301000
  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # echo 2171000 > scaling_max_freq
  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_max_freq
  2171000

At this time, the sg_policy's next_freq would stay at 2301000, which
is wrong.

To fix this, add a check for the ->need_freq_update flag.
