cpufreq: use correct unit when verify cur freq
[ Upstream commit 44295af5019f1997d038ad2611086a2d1e2af167 ]
cpufreq_verify_current_freq checks() if the frequency returned by
the hardware has a slight delta with the valid frequency value
last set and returns "policy->cur" if the delta is within "1 MHz".
In the comparison, "policy->cur" is in "kHz" but it's compared
against HZ_PER_MHZ. So, the comparison range becomes "1 GHz".
Fix this by comparing against KHZ_PER_MHZ instead of HZ_PER_MHZ.
