ACPI: register ACPI Processor as generic thermal cooling device

Register ACPI processor as thermal cooling devices.
A combination of processor T-state and P-state are used for thermal throttling.
the processor will reduce the frequency first and then set the T-state.

we use cpufreq_thermal_reduction_pctg to calculate the cpufreq limit,
and call cpufreq_verify_with_limit to set the cpufreq limit.
if cpufreq driver is loaded, then we have four cooling state for cpufreq control.
cooling state 0: cpufreq limit == max_freq
cooling state 1: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 80%
cooling state 2: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 60%
cooling state 3: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 40%

after the cpufreq limit is set to 40 percentage of the max_freq,
we use T-state for cooling.

eg. a processor has P-state support, and it has 8 T-state (T0-T7),
the max_state of the proceesor is 10:

state	cpufreq-limit  T-state
0:	max_freq	T0
1:	max_freq * 80%	T0
2:	max_freq * 60%	T0
3:	max_freq * 40%	T0
4:	max_freq * 40%	T1
5:	max_freq * 40%	T2
6:	max_freq * 40%	T3
7:	max_freq * 40%	T4
8:	max_freq * 40%	T5
9:	max_freq * 40%	T6
10:	max_freq * 40%	T7
