schedutil: Fix superfluous updates caused by need_freq_update

A redundant frequency update is only truly needed when there is a policy
limits change with a driver that specifies CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS.

In spite of that, drivers specifying CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS receive a
frequency update _all the time_, not just for a policy limits change,
because need_freq_update is never cleared.

Furthermore, ignore_dl_rate_limit()'s usage of need_freq_update also leads
to a redundant frequency update, regardless of whether or not the driver
specifies CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS, when the next chosen frequency is the
same as the current one.

Fix the superfluous updates by only honoring CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS
when there's a policy limits change, and clearing need_freq_update when a
requisite redundant update occurs.

This is neatly achieved by moving up the CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS test
and instead setting need_freq_update to false in sugov_update_next_freq().
