Documentation: intel_pstate: PID tuning is not always available
PID tuning is not available when the get_target_pstate_use_cpu_load() is used to calculate target_state. So update the documentation. Signed-off-by: Srinivas Pandruvada <srinivas.pandruvada@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

Tuning Intel P-State driver
-When HWP mode is not used, debugfs files have also been added to allow the
-tuning of the internal governor algorithm. These files are located at
-/sys/kernel/debug/pstate_snb/. The algorithm uses a PID (Proportional
-Integral Derivative) controller. The PID tunable parameters are:
+When the performance can be tuned using PID (Proportional Integral
+Derivative) controller, debugfs files are provided for adjusting performance.
+They are presented under:

+The PID tunable parameters are:
