cpufreq: intel_pstate: Sync policy->cur during CPU offline

When a CPU goes offline with HWP disabled, intel_pstate_set_min_pstate()
sets the MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL to minimum frequency to prevent SMT siblings
from being restricted. However, the policy->cur value was not updated,
leaving it at the previous value.

When the CPU comes back online, governor->limits() checks if target_freq
equals policy->cur and skips the frequency adjustment if they match. Since
policy->cur still holds the previous value, the governor does not call
cpufreq_driver->target to update MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL.

Fix this by synchronizing policy->cur with the hardware state when setting
minimum pstate during CPU offline.
