Use get_target_pstate_use_cpu_load() to calculate target P-State for
devices, which uses preferred power management profile as PM_MOBILE
in ACPI FADT.
This may help in resolving some thermal issues caused by low sustained
cpu bound workloads. The current algorithm tend to over provision in this
case as it doesn't look at the CPU busyness.
