[PATCH] sched: cpufreq_schedutil: restore cached freq when next_f is not changed

From: Wei Wang
Date: Fri Oct 16 2020 - 14:17:33 EST


We have the raw cached freq to reduce the chance in calling cpufreq
driver where it could be costly in some arch/SoC.

Currently, the raw cached freq will be reset when next_f is changed for
correctness. This patch changes it to maintain the cached value instead
of dropping it to honor the purpose of the cached value.

This is adapted from https://android-review.googlesource.com/1352810/
