Hello,

Now that cpufreq core supports taking QoS requests for min/max cpu
frequencies, lets migrate rest of the users to using them instead of the
policy notifiers.

Technically, this still is linux-next only. :-)

The CPUFREQ_NOTIFY and CPUFREQ_ADJUST events of the policy notifiers are
removed as a result, but we have to add CPUFREQ_CREATE_POLICY and
CPUFREQ_REMOVE_POLICY events to it for the acpi stuff specifically. So
the policy notifiers aren't completely removed.

That's not entirely accurate, because arch_topology is going to use
CPUFREQ_CREATE_POLICY now too.

Boot tested on my x86 PC and ARM hikey board. Nothing looked broken :)

This has already gone through build bot for a few days now.

So I'd prefer patches [5-8] to go right after the first one and then
do the cleanups on top of that, as somebody may want to backport the
essential changes without the cleanups.
