Re: [PATCH v5] arm64: topology: fix arch_freq_get_on_cpu() overflow above 4.19 GHz

arch_freq_get_on_cpu() computes the product of the frequency scale and
the reference frequency as a u64, but assigns it to an unsigned int
before shifting it back down:

	freq = scale * arch_scale_freq_ref(cpu);
	freq >>= SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT;

The product is truncated to 32 bits before the shift, so the result
wraps once arch_scale_freq_ref() exceeds 2^32 / SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE,
i.e. 4194304 kHz.

On a Snapdragon X2 Elite (Glymur) laptop, whose boost OPP is 4723200
kHz, cpuinfo_avg_freq reports 524283 kHz instead of ~4723200 kHz while
the CPU demonstrably runs at the boost frequency: a fixed workload
completes in 1.72 s at the 4723200 kHz OPP versus 2.01 s at 4032000
kHz, matching the 1.171 frequency ratio.

Compute it with cap_scale(), turned into a static inline taking u64 and
moved to <linux/sched/topology.h> so it is usable outside kernel/sched.

Changes in v5:
- cap_scale() becomes a static inline taking u64 arguments instead of
  a macro, as Dietmar proposed and Peter agreed, after Peter pointed out
  that the macro relies on one operand being u64.  It now lives in
  <linux/sched/topology.h>, where SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT is visible,
  rather than <linux/topology.h>.
- Patch 2/2 of v4 is dropped: it duplicated Ananthu C V's series [1],
  which I tested instead.  This fix is needed with that series, since
  it puts the reference above 4194304 kHz from boot.
