cpufreq: schedutil: Fix uncleared need_freq_update on the .adjust_perf() path

The need_freq_update flag makes sugov_should_update_freq() return true
regardless of the rate_limit_us throttling, and is cleared in
sugov_update_next_freq(). sugov_update_single_freq() and
sugov_update_shared() go through that helper, so the flag does not
persist there.

However, sugov_update_single_perf(), used by drivers implementing the
.adjust_perf() callback (e.g. intel_pstate or amd-pstate in passive
mode) calls cpufreq_driver_adjust_perf() directly and never goes through
sugov_update_next_freq(), so the need_freq_update flag is not cleared in
that path.

Before commit 75da043d8f88 ("cpufreq/sched: Set need_freq_update in
ignore_dl_rate_limit()"), this was effectively harmless because
sugov_should_update_freq() still honored the rate limit even when
need_freq_update was set. After that change, the flag forces
sugov_should_update_freq() to always return true, so once set, it
stays effective indefinitely on the .adjust_perf() path.

As a result, cpufreq_driver_adjust_perf() gets called on every scheduler
utilization update (with the runqueue lock held) rather than being
throttled by rate_limit_us, even if the driver itself may skip redundant
hardware updates.

Clear need_freq_update at the end of the adjust_perf path as well.
