powercap/drivers/dtpm: Scale the power with the load


Currently the power consumption is based on the current OPP power
assuming the entire performance domain is fully loaded.

That gives very gross power estimation and we can do much better by
using the load to scale the power consumption.

Use the utilization to normalize and scale the power usage over the
max possible power.

Tested on a rock960 with 2 big CPUS, the power consumption estimation
conforms with the expected one.

Before this change:

~$ ~/dhrystone -t 1 -l 10000&
~$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/powercap/dtpm/dtpm:0/dtpm:0:1/constraint_0_max_power_uw
2260000

After this change:

~$ ~/dhrystone -t 1 -l 10000&
~$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/powercap/dtpm/dtpm:0/dtpm:0:1/constraint_0_max_power_uw
1130000

~$ ~/dhrystone -t 2 -l 10000&
~$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/powercap/dtpm/dtpm:0/dtpm:0:1/constraint_0_max_power_uw
2260000
