[RFC PATCH 20/23] thermal: intel: hfi: Implement model-specific checks for task classification

[Ricardo Neri <ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com>]

In Alderlake and Raptorlake, the result of thread classification is more
accurate when only one SMT sibling is busy. Classification results for
class 2 and 3 that are always reliable.

To avoid unnecessary migrations, only update the class of a task if it has
been the same during 4 consecutive ticks.
