The cpufreq core and governors aren't supposed to set a limit on how fast we want to try changing the frequency. This is currently done for the legacy governors with help of min_sampling_rate. At worst, we may end up setting the sampling rate to a value lower than the rate at which frequency can be changed and then one of the CPUs in the policy will be only changing frequency for ever. But that is something for the user to decide and there is no need to have special handling for such cases in the core. Leave it for the user to figure out.
