cpufreq/amd-pstate: Drop Kconfig option for dynamic EPP

There are some performance issues being identified by dynamic EPP
and we don't want to have distributions turning it on by default
exposing them to users at this time.

Drop the kconfig option, and require an explicit opt in from kernel
command line or runtime sysfs option to turn it on.
