Subject: [PATCH] x86: PM: Register syscore_ops for scale invariance

On x86 scale invariace tends to be disabled during resume from
suspend-to-RAM, because the MPERF or APERF MSR values are not as
expected then due to updates taking place after the platform
firmware has been invoked to complete the suspend transition.

That, of course, is not desirable, especially if the schedutil
scaling governor is in use, because the lack of scale invariance
causes it to be less reliable.

To counter that effect, modify init_freq_invariance() to register
a syscore_ops object for scale invariance with the ->resume callback
pointing to init_counter_refs() which will run on the CPU starting
the resume transition (the other CPUs will be taken care of the
"online" operations taking place later).
