On many platforms any CPU (from any cpufreq policy) can perform DVFS on
behalf of other CPUs. Add a flag to identify such cpufreq policies.

Also enable it for cpufreq-dt driver which is used only on ARM platforms
currently.

We rely on the assumption that any CPU in a policy can do DVFS in there already.

Why is this flag necessary at all?
