[PATCH] drm/i915/selftests: Disable C-states when measuring RPS frequency response

[Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Let's isolate the impact of cpu frequency selection on determing the GPU
throughput in response to selection of RPS frequencies.

For real systems, we do have to be concerned with the impact of
integrating c-states, p-states and rp-states, but for the sake of
proving whether or not RPS works, one baby step at a time.
