cpufreq: intel_pstate: Make it possible to avoid enabling CAS
Capacity-aware scheduling (CAS) is enabled by default by intel_pstate on
hybrid systems without SMT, but in some usage scenarios it may be more
attractive to place tasks for maximum CPU performance regardless of the
extra cost in terms of energy, which is the case on such systems when
CAS is not enabled, so introduce a command line option to forbid
intel_pstate to enable CAS.
