The special check, about not reducing freq if CPU had been busy
recently, doesn't have anything to do with need_freq_update.

Though previously we added the need_freq_update check there to make
sure we account for any recent policy min/max change and don't skip
freq update anymore. That won't happen anymore and so we don't need
any check here related to need_freq_update.

If you still have doubt, please explain your concern in detail with an
example as I am failing to understand it.
