Add architecture specific APIs to update and track thermal pressure on a per CPU basis. A per CPU variable thermal_pressure is introduced to keep track of instantaneous per CPU thermal pressure. Thermal pressure is the delta between maximum capacity and capped capacity due to a thermal event. topology_get_thermal_pressure can be hooked into the scheduler specified arch_scale_thermal_pressure to retrieve instantaneous thermal pressure of a CPU. arch_set_thermal_pressure can be used to update the thermal pressure. Considering topology_get_thermal_pressure reads thermal_pressure and arch_set_thermal_pressure writes into thermal_pressure, one can argue for some sort of locking mechanism to avoid a stale value. But considering topology_get_thermal_pressure can be called from a system critical path like scheduler tick function, a locking mechanism is not ideal. This means that it is possible the thermal_pressure value used to calculate average thermal pressure for a CPU can be stale for up to 1 tick period.
