Hi,

This is rather extreme, but I think that we should make the scheduler paths as
lightweight as reasonably possible.

[1/2] removes the atomic work counter incrementation from gov_cancel_work() as
      it is not necessary any more.

[2/2] changes the way work items are handled by dbs_update_util_handler() and
      dbs_work_handler() to avoid extra atomic operations in cases when they
      aren't really necessary (policy objects serving one CPU only).

On top of the pm-cpufreq-test branch of linux-pm.git.  Lightly tested, but
I don't have systems where policy objects are shared.

Thanks,
Rafael
