From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

Notice that ignore_dl_rate_limit() need not piggy back on the
limits_changed handling to achieve its goal (which is to enforce a
frequency update before its due time).

Namely, if sugov_should_update_freq() is updated to check
sg_policy->need_freq_update and return 'true' if it is set when
sg_policy->limits_changed is not set, ignore_dl_rate_limit() may
set the former directly instead of setting the latter, so it can
avoid hitting the memory barrier in sugov_should_update_freq().

Update the code accordingly.
