[3/3] drm/msm: return the average load over the polling period

simple_ondemand interacts poorly with clamp_to_idle.  It only looks at
the load since the last get_dev_status call, while it should really look
at the load over polling_ms.  When clamp_to_idle true, it almost always
picks the lowest frequency on active because the gpu is idle between
msm_devfreq_idle/msm_devfreq_active.

This logic could potentially be moved into devfreq core.

The idea is to extend devfreq_simple_ondemand_data to specify whether
devfreq_simple_ondemand_func should use "last status" or "average
status" to determine the target frequency.  devfreq core will need to
store "struct devfreq_dev_status average_status", which will be
updated when a device uses simple_ondemand and asks for average_status
instead of last_status.
