The changes in this patch are appropriate and make sense but they are
not done at the right place.

estimate_tzp_constants() must be called when sustainable_power is
updated via DT/init or sysfs.

Keeping a function to estimate the sustainable power and another one to
estimate the k_* separated would be more clear.

Actually the confusion is coming from when the pid constants are
computed, I suggest moving the initialization of k_* out of this
function and killing the 'force' test.
