intel_pstate: Change busy calculation to use fixed point math.
Commit fcb6a15c (intel_pstate: Take core C0 time into account for core busy calculation) introduced a regression on some processor SKUs supported by intel_pstate. This was due to the truncation caused by using integer math to calculate core busy and C0 percentages. On a i7-4770K processor operating at 800Mhz going to 100% utilization the percent busy of the CPU using integer math is 22%, but it actually is 22.85%. This value scaled to the current frequency returned 97 which the PID interpreted as no error and did not adjust the P state. Tested on i7-4770K, i7-2600, i5-3230M.
