ACPI specifications stat that if the "Guaranteed Performance Register" is
not implemented, OSPM assumes guaranteed performance is always equal to
nominal performance. So for invalid and unimplemented guaranteed
performance register, use nominal performance as guaranteed performance.
This change will fallback to nominal_perf when guranteed_perf is invalid.
If nominal_perf is also invalid, then fallback to existing implementation,
which is to read from HWP Capabilities MSR.
