simple_ondemand interacts poorly with clamp_to_idle. It only looks at
the load since the last get_dev_status call, while it should really look
at the load over polling_ms. When clamp_to_idle true, it almost always
picks the lowest frequency on active because the gpu is idle between
msm_devfreq_idle/msm_devfreq_active.
This logic could potentially be moved into devfreq core.
