[PATCH 2/2] drm/msm/devfreq: Add 1ms delay before clamping freq

From: Rob Clark <robdclark at chromium.org>

Add a short delay before clamping to idle frequency on active->idle
transition.  It takes ~0.5ms to increase the freq again on the next
idle->active transition, so this helps avoid extra freq transitions
on workloads that bounce between CPU and GPU.

Note that this sort of re-introduces the theoretical race solved
by [1].. but that should not be a problem with something along the
lines of [2].
