Subject: Revert "tools/power turbostat: stop migrating, unless '-m'"
From: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx>
commit c97cc7dbce2fe6f46e137f4b040f915a0181ee85 upstream.
This reverts commit c91fc8519d87715a3a173475ea3778794c139996.
That change caused a C6 and PC6 residency regression on large idle systems.
Users also complained about new output indicating jitter:
turbostat: cpu6 jitter 3794 9142
