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

In some cases, the processor may not actually stick to the "desired"
performance level programmed through the driver's .adjust_perf()
callback and may go above it, which may not be desirable (for instance,
there may be a UCLAMP_MAX limit set for the task currently running on
the given CPU which should be respected).

Address that by adjusting the .adjust_perf() callback to take an
additional argument, max_perf, representing the maximum allowed
performance level of the CPU and update the intel_pstate driver to
take that argument into account as appropriate.

Accordingly, adjust cpufreq_driver_adjust_perf() and the other existing
user of .adjust_perf(), which is the amd-pstate driver (but the behavior
of that driver is not changed).

While at it, also update the cpufreq_driver_adjust_perf()
documentation to reflect this change and some previous code
changes that have not been taken into account in it.

This is an update of

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/14060154.uLZWGnKmhe@rafael.j.wysocki/

sent mainly because the v1 did not update the Rust bindings by
omission.  It also fixes a few typos present in the v1.

Thanks!
