[PATCH] cpufreq: schedutil: Fix rate limit overflow

Message-ID <[email protected]>
rate_limit_us is unsigned int. On 32-bit systems, multiplying it by
NSEC_PER_USEC is therefore carried out in 32-bit arithmetic before
the result is assigned to freq_update_delay_ns.

For example, writing 4294968 to rate_limit_us wraps the delay from
4294968000 ns to 704 ns. This makes schedutil update far more often
than configured.

Add sugov_update_rate_limit_us() to widen the value to u64 before
converting units. Use it when updating the tunable through sysfs and
when starting the governor, so both paths set the same valid delay.
