acpi-cpufreq: Add compatibility for legacy AMD cpb sysfs knob

The powernow-k8 driver supported a sysfs knob called "cpb", which was
instantiated per CPU, but actually acted globally for the whole
system. To keep some compatibility with this feature, we re-introduce
this behavior here, but:
a) only enable it on AMD CPUs and
b) protect it with a Kconfig switch

I'd like to consider this feature obsolete. Lets keep it around for
some kernel versions and then phase it out.

The powernow-k8 driver used to provide a sysfs knob called "cpb"
to disable the Core Performance Boosting feature of AMD CPUs. This
file has now been superseeded by the more generic "boost" entry.
By enabling this option the acpi_cpufreq driver provides the old
entry in addition to the new boost ones, for compatibility reasons.
