[CPUFREQ] Measure transition latency at driver initialization

The attached patch introduces runtime latency measurement for ICH[234]
based chipsets instead of using CPUFREQ_ETERNAL. It includes
some sanity checks in case the measured value is out of range and
assigns a safe value of 500uSec that should still be enough on
problematics chipsets (current testing report values ~200uSec). The
measurement is currently done in speedstep_get_freqs in order to avoid
further unnecessary transitions and in the hope it'll come handy for SMI
also.
