[CPUFREQ] Only set sampling_rate_max deprecated, sampling_rate_min is useful

Update the documentation accordingly.
Cleanup and use printk_once.

The lowest value you can set is:
transition_latency * 100 or it may get restricted to a value where it
makes not sense for the kernel anymore to poll that often which depends
on your HZ config variable (HZ=1000: max=20000us, HZ=250: max=5000).
Be aware that transition latency is in ns and sampling_rate is in us, so you
get the same sysfs value by default.
Sampling rate should always get adjusted considering the transition latency

show_sampling_rate_(min|max): THIS INTERFACE IS DEPRECATED, DON'T USE IT.
You can use wider ranges now and the general
cpuinfo_transition_latency variable (cmp. with user-guide.txt) can be
used to obtain exactly the same info:
show_sampling_rate_min = transtition_latency * 500 / 1000
show_sampling_rate_max = transtition_latency * 500000 / 1000
(divided by 1000 is to illustrate that sampling rate is in us and
transition latency is exported ns).
show_sampling_rate_min:
The sampling rate is limited by the HW transition latency:
transition_latency * 100
Or by kernel restrictions:
If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, the limit is 10ms fixed.
If CONFIG_NO_HZ is not set or no_hz=off boot parameter is used, the
limits depend on the CONFIG_HZ option:
HZ=1000: min=20000us (20ms)
HZ=250: min=80000us (80ms)
HZ=100: min=200000us (200ms)
The highest value of kernel and HW latency restrictions is shown and
used as the minimum sampling rate.
