On a reset cycle of OCC, although the system retires from safe frequency state the local pstate is not restored to Pmin or last requested pstate. Now if the cpufreq governor initiates a pstate change, the local pstate will be in Psafe and we will be reporting a false positive when we are not throttled. So in powernv_cpufreq_throttle_check() remove the condition which checks if local pstate is less than Pmin while checking for Psafe frequency. If the cpus are forced to Psafe then PMSR.psafe_mode_active bit will be set. So, when OCCs become active this bit will be cleared. Let us just rely on this bit for reporting throttling.
