Subject: Revert "x86: do not use cpufreq_quick_get() for /proc/cpuinfo "cpu MHz""

From: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>

commit 890da9cf098364b11a7f7f5c22fa652531624d03 upstream.

This reverts commit 51204e0639c49ada02fd823782ad673b6326d748.

There wasn't really any good reason for it, and people are complaining (rightly) that it broke existing practice.
