If arch_scale_freq_ref() is not defined for a given arch (like x86, for
example), cpufreq_update_pressure() will always set cpufreq_pressure to
zero for all CPUs in the system, which is generally problematic on
systems with asymmetric capacity [1].
However, in the absence of arch_scale_freq_ref(), it is reasonable
to assume that cpuinfo.max_freq is the maximum sustainable frequency
for the given cpufreq policy. Moreover, there are cases in which
arch_scale_freq_ref() would need to be defined to return essentially
the cpuinfo.max_freq value anyway (for example, intel_pstate on
hybrid platforms).
For the above reasons, update cpufreq_update_pressure() to fall back to
using cpuinfo.max_freq as the reference frequency if zero is returned by
arch_scale_freq_ref().
