cpufreq: intel_pstate: Do not use PID-based P-state selection
All systems with a defined ACPI preferred profile that are not "servers" have been using the load-based P-state selection algorithm in intel_pstate since 4.12-rc1 (mobile systems and laptops have been using it since 4.10-rc1) and no problems with it have been reported to date. In particular, no regressions with respect to the PID-based P-state selection have been reported. Also testing indicates that the P-state selection algorithm based on CPU load is generally on par with the PID-based algorithm performance-wise, and for some workloads it turns out to be better than the other one, while being more straightforward and easier to understand at the same time. Moreover, the PID-based P-state selection algorithm in intel_pstate is known to be unstable in some situation and generally problematic, the issues with it are hard to address and it has become a significant maintenance burden. For these reasons, make intel_pstate use the "powersave" P-state selection algorithm based on CPU load in the active mode on all systems and drop the PID-based P-state selection code along with all things related to it from the driver. Also update the documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
