[V3,2/5] cpufreq: ondemand: update sampling rate immediately

We are immediately updating sampling rate for already queued-works, only
if the new expiry is lesser than the old one.

But what about the case, where the user doesn't want frequent events and
want to increase sampling time immediately? Shouldn't we cancel the
works (and so their interrupts) on all policy->cpus (which might occur
very shortly).

This patch removes this special case and simplifies code by immediately
updating the expiry.
