PM: EM: Mark inefficient states
Some SoCs, such as the sd855 have OPPs within the same performance domain, whose cost is higher than others with a higher frequency. Even though those OPPs are interesting from a cooling perspective, it makes no sense to use them when the device can run at full capacity. Those OPPs handicap the performance domain, when choosing the most energy-efficient CPU and are wasting energy. They are inefficient. Hence, add support for such OPPs to the Energy Model. The table can now be read skipping inefficient performance states (and by extension, inefficient OPPs).
