[dpdk-dev] [20.11.3] test/power: fix CPU frequency when turbo enabled

[dpdk-dev] [20.11.3] test/power: fix CPU frequency when turbo enabled

[David Hunt]

On arm platform, the value in "/sys/.../cpuinfo_cur_freq" may not
be exactly the same as what was set when using CPPC cpufreq driver.
For other cpufreq driver, no need to round it currently, or else
this check will fail with turbo enabled. For example, with acpi_cpufreq,
cpuinfo_cur_freq can be 2401000 which is equal to freqs[0].It should
not be rounded to 2400000.

This is a version of the patch for 20.11.3 that fixes this issue
withouth the dependency of having the CPPC support applied first
(modified version of 29343b9030e38e8c3519ba01cb66724d45b13dc8)

Fixes: 606a234c6d360 ("test/power: round CPU frequency to check")

Applied and pushed, thanks (next time, please don't include 
dev@dpdk.org but only stable, given it's a backport - otherwise it gets
filtered).
