cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix up iowait_boost computation

After commit b8bd158 ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Rework iowait boosting to be less aggressive") the handling of the case when the SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT flag is set again after a few iterations of intel_pstate_update_util() is a bit inconsistent, because the new value of cpu->iowait_boost may be lower than ONE_EIGHTH_FP if it was set before, but has not dropped down to zero just yet. Fix that up by ensuring that the new value of cpu->iowait_boost will always be at least ONE_EIGHTH_FP then.
