cpufreq: Support per-policy performance boost

The boost control currently applies to the whole system.  However, users
may prefer to boost a subset of cores in order to provide prioritized
performance to workloads running on the boosted cores.

Enable per-policy boost by adding a 'boost' sysfs interface under each
policy path.  This can be found at:

	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy<*>/boost

Same to the global boost switch, writing 1/0 to the per-policy 'boost'
enables/disables boost on a cpufreq policy respectively.

The user view of global and per-policy boost controls should be:

1. Enabling global boost initially enables boost on all policies, and
per-policy boost can then be enabled or disabled individually, given that
the platform does support so.

2. Disabling global boost makes the per-policy boost interface illegal.
