cpufreq: cppc: mask Desired_Excursion when autonomous selection is enabled

Browse Source 
According to the ACPI 6.6 specification, the Desired_Excursion field is not
utilized when autonomous selection is enabled. In this mode, the bit is
architecturally ignored and does not carry meaningful information.

Currently, the kernel exposes the raw Performance Limited register
value to userspace through the cpufreq sysfs interface. This may lead to
misinterpretation, as userspace may assume Desired_Excursion is valid
even when autonomous selection is active.

To provide a stable and semantically correct ABI, mask out the
Desired_Excursion bit when autonomous selection is enabled, so that
userspace does not observe undefined or misleading values.

Writes are left unchanged, as the field is architecturally ignored in
this mode and write attempts are harmless.
