Changelog v6-->v7
1. Optimize free for pgs attributes to iterate only over the currently
   allocated attributes "idx" instead of free'ing for all

Also, have implemented a POC using this interface for the powerpc-utils'
ppc64_cpu --frequency command-line tool to utilize this information
in userspace.
The POC for the new interface has been hosted here:
https://github.com/pratiksampat/powerpc-utils/tree/H_GET_ENERGY_SCALE_INFO_v2

Sample output from the powerpc-utils tool is as follows:

# ppc64_cpu --frequency
Power and Performance Mode: XXXX
Idle Power Saver Status   : XXXX
Processor Folding Status  : XXXX --> Printed if Idle power save status is supported

Platform reported frequencies --> Frequencies reported from the platform's H_CALL i.e PAPR interface
min        :    NNNN GHz
max        :    NNNN GHz
static     :    NNNN GHz

Tool Computed frequencies
min        :    NNNN GHz (cpu XX)
max        :    NNNN GHz (cpu XX)
avg        :    NNNN GHz
