Peng Liu 8a2d6e1b54 devfreq: pod v2: build as ext module for kstable
governor_pod_scaling_v2 will be provided as a kernel module in future
NVIDIA software deliverables for Linux platforms. As of this moment, the
function that returns the range of the device's scaling frequency hasn't
been exposed from Linux kernel for modules to call. A similar function
is implemented in the governor_pod_scaling_v2, but this function cannot
get the frequency constraints put through the PM QOS interface due to
the same reason, lack of kernel API function. An upstream kernel patch
has been proposed by the power management maintainer to provide the
function needed by governor_pod_scaling_v2, but it's not in any release
kernel yet. For now, PM QOS support is removed from
governor_pod_scaling_v2 and it will be added back when the upstream
kernel patch is available in kernel releases.

drivers_devfreq_governor_5_14.h is a copy of drivers/devfreq/governor.h
of Linux kernel 5.14. Having this copy is to avoid introducing the
dependency on Linux source for building the podgov as external module.
