Subject: intel_pstate: Take core C0 time into account for core busy calculation
From: Dirk Brandewie <[email protected]>
commit fcb6a15c2e7e76d493e6f91ea889ab40e1c643a4 upstream.
Take non-idle time into account when calculating core busy time.
This ensures that intel_pstate will notice a decrease in load.
