From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
When _PPC returns 0, it means that the CPU frequency is not limited by
the platform firmware, so make acpi_processor_get_platform_limit()
update the frequency QoS request used by it to "no limit" in that case.
This addresses a problem with limiting CPU frequency artificially on
some systems after CPU offline/online to the frequency that corresponds
to the first entry in the _PSS return package.
