cpufreq/amd-pstate: Store the boost numerator as highest perf again
commit ad4caad58d91d ("cpufreq: amd-pstate: Merge amd_pstate_highest_perf_set() into amd_get_boost_ratio_numerator()") changed the semantics for highest perf and commit 18d9b52271213 ("cpufreq/amd-pstate: Use nominal perf for limits when boost is disabled") worked around those semantic changes. This however is a confusing result and furthermore makes it awkward to change frequency limits and boost due to the scaling differences. Restore the boost numerator to highest perf again.
