cpufreq: amd-pstate: cpufreq: amd-pstate: reset MSR_AMD_PERF_CTL register at init
MSR_AMD_PERF_CTL is guaranteed to be 0 on a cold boot. However, on a kexec boot, for instance, it may have a non-zero value (if the cpu was in a non-P0 Pstate). In such cases, the cores with non-P0 Pstates at boot will never be pushed to P0, let alone boost frequencies. Kexec is a common workflow for reboot on Linux and this creates a regression in performance. Fix it by explicitly setting the MSR_AMD_PERF_CTL to 0 during amd_pstate driver init.
