cpufreq: schedutil: Always call driver if CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS is set
Because sugov_update_next_freq() may skip a frequency update even if the need_freq_update flag has been set for the policy at hand, policy limits updates may not take effect as expected. For example, if the intel_pstate driver operates in the passive mode with HWP enabled, it needs to update the HWP min and max limits when the policy min and max limits change, respectively, but that may not happen if the target frequency does not change along with the limit at hand. In particular, if the policy min is changed first, causing the target frequency to be adjusted to it, and the policy max limit is changed later to the same value, the HWP max limit will not be updated to follow it as expected, because the target frequency is still equal to the policy min limit and it will not change until that limit is updated. To address this issue, modify get_next_freq() to let the driver callback run if the CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS cpufreq driver flag is set regardless of whether or not the new frequency to set is equal to the previous one.
