[Update,v1.2,4/5] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Get rid of unnecessary READ_ONCE() annotations

Commit Message

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <[e-mail]>

Drop two redundant checks involving READ_ONCE() from notify_hwp_interrupt()
and make it check hwp_active without READ_ONCE() which is not necessary,
because that variable is only set once during the early initialization of
the driver.

In order to make that clear, annotate hwp_active with __ro_after_init.
