I'm not a fan of this change, because the new argument will only be
needed in one place where intel_pstate_get_hwp_max() and it requires
adding redundant local vars and pointless updates elsewhere.

Besides, in intel_pstate_get_cpu_pstates() you can do something like
this after calling intel_pstate_get_hwp_max():

cpu->pstate.max_pstate = HWP_GUARANTEED_PERF(READ_ONCE(cpu->hwp_cap_cached));
cpu->pstate.max_freq = cpu->pstate.max_pstate * cpu->pstate.scaling;
