xen/cpufreq: get performance policy from governor set via xenpm

Even if Xen governor is not used in amd-cppc active mode, we could
somehow deduce which performance policy (CPUFREQ_POLICY_xxx) user wants to
apply through which governor they choose, such as:
If user chooses performance governor, they want maximum performance, then
the policy shall be CPUFREQ_POLICY_PERFORMANCE
If user chooses powersave governor, they want the least power consumption,
then the policy shall be CPUFREQ_POLICY_POWERSAVE
Function cpufreq_policy_from_governor() is responsible for above transition,
and it shall be also effective when users setting new governor through xenpm.

Userspace is a forbidden choice, and if users specify such option, we shall
not only give warning message to suggest using "xenpm set-cpufreq-cppc", but
also error out.
