Introduce a new init_boost callback in cpufreq to initialize the boost
state for specific pstate drivers. This initialization is required before
calling the set_boost interface for each CPU.

The init_boost callback will set up and synchronize each CPU's current
boost state before invoking the set_boost function. Without this step,
the boost state may be inconsistent across CPUs.

Firstly, I also add the " goto out_free_policy", and removed later,  because I think it is a little risky to fail the whole online process if driver init boost callback failed.
If driver init boost failed, it just let boost control function lost, but online initialize failed and go to free the policy,  it is a big problem.
I am ok to add the error handling if maintainer agree to see the potential online function aborting. 😊

Could you please help to review this cpufreq change to add init_boost callback for the pstate driver?
We need to add this to initialize boost_supported and boost_state according to SBIOS , then user could change the boost setting as preference.
