cpufreq: stats: Defer stats update to cpufreq_stats_record_transition()
In order to prepare for lock-less stats update, add support to defer any
updates to it until cpufreq_stats_record_transition() is called.
The stats were updated from two places earlier:
- show_time_in_state(): This can be easily deferred, all we need is to
calculate the delta duration again in this routine to show the current
state's time-in-state.
- store_reset(): This is a bit tricky as we need to clear the stats
here and avoid races with simultaneous call to
cpufreq_stats_record_transition().
Fix that by deferring the reset of the stats (within the code) to the
next call to cpufreq_stats_record_transition(), but since we need to
keep showing the right stats until that time, we capture the reset
time and account for the time since last time reset was called until
the time cpufreq_stats_record_transition() update the stats.
User space will continue seeing the stats correctly, everything will
be 0 after the stats are reset, apart from the time-in-state of the
current state, until the time a frequency switch happens.
