The behavior introduced in commit f37a4d6b4a2c ("cpufreq: Fix per-policy
boost behavior on SoCs using cpufreq_boost_set_sw()") sets up the boost
policy incorrectly when boost has been enabled by the platform firmware
initially even if a driver sets the policy up.
This is because policy_has_boost_freq() assumes that there is a frequency
table set up by the driver and that the boost frequencies are advertised
in that table. This assumption doesn't work for acpi-cpufreq or
amd-pstate. Only use this check to enable boost if it's not already
enabled instead of also disabling it if alreayd enabled.

Rafael, this can go in to the next rc I believe (along with patch to
acpi-cpufreq).

This will work. The drivers that don't depend onn
policy_has_boost_freq() should ensure that they keep policy->enabled
in-sync with cpufreq_boost_enabled().
