[PATCH v2, 3/3] intel_pstate: Clean up get_target_pstate_use_performance()

["Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@rjwysocki.net>]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

The comments and the core_busy variable name in
get_target_pstate_use_performance() are totally confusing,
so modify them to reflect what's going on.

The results of the computations should be the same as before.
