sched/fair: Fix frequency selection for non-invariant case

Linus reported a ~50% performance regression on single-threaded
workloads on his AMD Ryzen system, and bisected it to:

  9c0b4bb ("sched/cpufreq: Rework schedutil governor performance estimation")

When frequency invariance is not enabled, get_capacity_ref_freq(policy)
is supposed to return the current frequency and the performance margin
applied by map_util_perf(), enabling the utilization to go above the
maximum compute capacity and to select a higher frequency than the current one.

After the changes in 9c0b4bb, the performance margin was applied
earlier in the path to take into account utilization clampings and
we couldn't get a utilization higher than the maximum compute capacity,
and the CPU remained 'stuck' at lower frequencies.

To fix this, we must use a frequency above the current frequency to
get a chance to select a higher OPP when the current one becomes fully used.
Apply the same margin and return a frequency 25% higher than the current
one in order to switch to the next OPP before we fully use the CPU
at the current one.

[ mingo: Clarified the changelog. ]
