Addition of CLK_RECALC_NEW_RATES flag to support Exynos5420 cpu clk so that
correct divider values are re-calculated after both pre/post
clock notifiers had run for mout_apll clock and mout_kpll clock.

Below is the output of cpupower utility.
Observation their is considreable improvement in cpufreq stats

s/considreable/considerable/

after applying this patch.

Before this patch applied below is the output of cpupower.

It is too much... Especially lines like:
"root at odroidxu3:/usr/src/odroidxu3-4.y-testing#"

Leave only necessary information showing the difference, like
1. governor - performance
2. $ cpupower -c 1 frequency-info
3. and some nicely formatted table showing the time spent in
frequencies... limited to some reasonable wide (75 characters).
Example:
Difference observed in following frequencies:
freq [MHz] |  200   | 300  | 1800 |
before     | 22.07% | ...  | ...  |
after      | 46.57% | ...  | ...  |

Triple dash. I mentioned it already, this should not be in commit message.

PATCHv2 Fixed the commit log with stats.

Depend on https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/3/388

Tested on OdroidXU3 Board
