tools/power turbostat: KNL workaround for %Busy and Avg_MHz
KNL increments APERF and MPERF every 1024 clocks.
This is compliant with the architecture specification,
which requires that only the ratio of APERF/MPERF need be valid.
However, turbostat takes advantage of the fact that these
two MSRs increment every un-halted clock
at the actual and base frequency:
AVG_MHz = APERF_delta/measurement_interval
%Busy = MPERF_delta/TSC_delta
This quirk is needed for these calculations to also work on KNL,
which would otherwise show a value 1024x smaller than expected.
