cpufreq: intel_pstate: Tweak the EPP sysfs interface

Browse Source 
Modify the EPP sysfs interface to reject attempts to change the EPP
to values different from 0 ("performance") in the active mode with
the "performance" policy (ie. scaling_governor set to "performance"),
to avoid situations in which the kernel appears to discard data
passed to it via the EPP sysfs attribute.

This will override the EPP/EPB setting coming from the ``sysfs`` interface
(see `Energy vs Performance Hints`_ below).
(see `Energy vs Performance Hints`_ below). Moreover, any attempts to change
the EPP/EPB to a value different from 0 ("performance") via ``sysfs`` in this
configuration will be rejected.
Also, in this configuration the range of P-states available to the processor's
internal P-state selection logic is always restricted to the upper boundary
