Add architecture specific APIs to update and track thermal pressure on a
per cpu basis. A per cpu variable thermal_pressure is introduced to keep
track of instantaneous per cpu thermal pressure. Thermal pressure is the
delta between maximum capacity and capped capacity due to a thermal event.
capacity and capped capacity due to a thermal event.

topology_get_thermal_pressure can be hooked into the scheduler specified
arch_scale_thermal_capacity to retrieve instantaneius thermal pressure of
a cpu.

arch_set_thermal_presure can be used to update the thermal pressure by
providing a capped maximum capacity.

Considering topology_get_thermal_pressure reads thermal_pressure and
arch_set_thermal_pressure writes into thermal_pressure, one can argue for
some sort of locking mechanism to avoid a stale value.  But considering
topology_get_thermal_pressure_average can be called from a system critical
path like scheduler tick function, a locking mechanism is not ideal. This
means that it is possible the thermal_pressure value used to calculate
average thermal pressure for a cpu can be stale for upto 1 tick period.

v3->v4:
        - Dropped per cpu max_capacity_info struct and instead added a per
          delta_capacity variable to store the delta between maximum
          capacity and capped capacity. The delta is now calculated when
          thermal pressure is updated and not every tick.
        - Dropped populate_max_capacity_info api as only per cpu delta
          capacity is stored.
        - Renamed update_periodic_maxcap to
          trigger_thermal_pressure_average and update_maxcap_capacity to
          update_thermal_pressure.
v4->v5:
	- As per Peter's review comments folded thermal.c into fair.c.
	- As per Ionela's review comments revamped update_thermal_pressure
	  to take maximum available capacity as input instead of maximum
	  capped frequency ration.
v5->v6:
	- As per review comments moved all the infrastructure to track
	  and retrieve instantaneous thermal pressure out of scheduler
	  to topology files.

 unsigned long delta;
 int cpu;

 delta = arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpumask_first(cpus)) - capped_capacity;

Easier to read plus order local variable declarations from longest to
shortest line.

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This line seems to be a duplicate (initially I thought I was seeing
double :) ).

I also think this is deserving of a better name. I would drop the
'scale' part as well as it is not used as a scale factor, as
freq_scale or cpu_scale, but it's used as a reduction in capacity
(thermal capacity pressure) due to a thermal event.

It might be too much but what do you think about:
arch_thermal_capacity_pressure?
