The RAPL PMU counters do not interrupt on overflow.
Therefore, the kernel needs to poll the counters
to avoid missing an overflow. This patch adds
the hrtimer code to do this.
The timer interval is calculated at boot time
based on the power unit used by the HW.
There is one hrtimer per-cpu to handle the case
of multiple simultaneous use across cores on
the same package + hotplug CPU.
Thanks to Maria Dimakopoulou for her contributions
to this patch especially on the math aspects.
