PM: EM: Optimize em_cpu_energy() and remove division

The Energy Model (EM) can be modified at runtime which brings new
possibilities. The em_cpu_energy() is called by the Energy Aware Scheduler
(EAS) in its hot path. The energy calculation uses power value for
a given performance state (ps) and the CPU busy time as percentage for that
given frequency.

It is possible to avoid the division by 'scale_cpu' at runtime, because
EM is updated whenever new max capacity CPU is set in the system.

Use that feature and do the needed division during the calculation of the
coefficient 'ps->cost'. That enhanced 'ps->cost' value can be then just
multiplied simply by utilization:

pd_nrg = ps->cost * \Sum cpu_util

to get the needed energy for whole Performance Domain (PD).

With this optimization and earlier removal of map_util_freq(), the
em_cpu_energy() should run faster on the Big CPU by 1.43x and on the Little
CPU by 1.69x (RockPi 4B board).
