[PATCH] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Increase precision

In some cases the scaling max/min limit set via cpufreq interface doesn't
result in correct max/min.

For example, with the data below:

cpuinfo_max_freq:3700000
scaling_max_freq:2500000
HWP max ratio = 37

With the current fixed point conversion to ratio using 14 bit shift:
max_perf = (2500000 << 14) / 3700000 = 11070
Rounding up with 14 = 11070
HWP max ratio corresponding to 2500000 will be
= (hwp max ratio * max_perf) >> 14
= 24

So this will result in 100Mhz less frequency than what is requested,
with scaling factor of 100000.

To fix this if we increase the shift to 15 bits.
max_perf = (2500000 << 15) / 3700000 = 22140
rounded up with 15 = 22144
The new max ratio corresponding to 2500000 will be
= (hwp max ratio * max_perf) >> 15
= 25
This will result in correct scaling max frequency.

This patch changes EXT_BITS to 7 from 6, so this will result in 15 bit
shift during fixed point math above.
