Few rare race conditions were found when testing the Dynamic EPP feature
on EPYC platforms:

o Toggling dynamic EPP is essentially a driver switch into the same mode
  and can race with an admin-initiated driver switch which can cause the
  system to hang.

o If a profile change / power supply status change races with the driver
  unloading, it can overwrite the Floor Perf restored in the CPPC_REQ
  register that was meant to be left untouched until the next driver
  load.

o When dynamic mode is disabled, the default EPP hint is set based on
  the power supply mode at the time of driver load which can cause the
  battery to drain faster when starting off from AC supply and then
  switching to battery.

When fixing and testing the above, a couple of incorrect error codes
were noted which is also fixed in the series along with the unit test.

Series is based on mainline at v7.1-rc2 release tag. Thanks to Mario for
initial review. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
