Debarshi Dutta 85c323c3e8 gpu: nvgpu: restrict devfreq during active clk_arb set requests ...

Restrict access to devfreq when there are active set requests in the
clk_arbiter. We make the following changes in the patch.

1) Add a global counter in the struct gk20a named clk_arb_global_nr which
is used to track the number of active set requests in the system.

2) Anytime a set request is successfully made by the userspace,
clk_arb_global_nr is incremented by 1 and during the completion of
request(releasing the corresponding file handle), clk_arb_global_nr is
decremented by 1.

3) gk20a_scale_target(invoked by devfreq to set the new frequency based
on load) atomically checks clk_arb_global_nr. If the value = 0, the
code simply continue or else if its > 0, it quits thus making devfreq
requests mutually exclusive with the clk_arbiter.
