cpufreq: Avoid creating excessively large stack frames
In the process of modifying a cpufreq policy, the cpufreq core makes a copy of it including all of the internals which is stored on the CPU stack. Because struct cpufreq_policy is relatively large, this may cause the size of the stack frame to exceed the 2 KB limit and so the GCC complains when -Wframe-larger-than= is used. In fact, it is not necessary to copy the entire policy structure in order to modify it, however. First, because cpufreq_set_policy() obtains the min and max policy limits from frequency QoS now, it is not necessary to pass the limits to it from the callers. The only things that need to be passed to it from there are the new governor pointer or (if there is a built-in governor in the driver) the "policy" value representing the governor choice. They both can be passed as individual arguments, though, so make cpufreq_set_policy() take them this way and rework its callers accordingly. This avoids making copies of cpufreq policies in the callers of cpufreq_set_policy(). Second, cpufreq_set_policy() still needs to pass the new policy data to the ->verify() callback of the cpufreq driver whose task is to sanitize the min and max policy limits. It still does not need to make a full copy of struct cpufreq_policy for this purpose, but it needs to pass a few items from it to the driver in case they are needed (different drivers have different needs in that respect and all of them have to be covered). For this reason, introduce struct cpufreq_policy_data to hold copies of the members of struct cpufreq_policy used by the existing ->verify() driver callbacks and pass a pointer to a temporary structure of that type to ->verify() (instead of passing a pointer to full struct cpufreq_policy to it). While at it, notice that intel_pstate and longrun don't really need to verify the "policy" value in struct cpufreq_policy, so drop those check from them to avoid copying "policy" into struct cpufreq_policy_data (which allows it to be slightly smaller). Also while at it fix up white space in a couple of places and make cpufreq_set_policy() static (as it can be so).
