cpupower: mperf monitor - Use TSC to calculate max frequency if possible
Which makes the implementation independent from cpufreq drivers. Therefore this would also work on a Xen kernel where the hypervisor is doing frequency switching and idle entering. Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>
