intel_pstate: skip scheduler hook when in "performance" mode
When the governor is set to "performance", intel_pstate does not need the scheduler hook for doing any calculations. Under these conditions, its only purpose is to continue to maintain cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq. The cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq sysfs attribute is now provided by shared x86 cpufreq code on modern x86 systems, including all systems supported by the intel_pstate driver. So in "performance" governor mode, the scheduler hook can be skipped. This applies to both in Software and Hardware P-state control modes.
