Commit ac4e04d9e378 ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Unchecked MSR aceess in
legacy mode") introduced a check for feature X86_FEATURE_IDA to verify
turbo mode support. Although this is the correct way to check for turbo
mode support, it causes issues on some platforms that disable turbo
during OS boot, but enable it later [1]. Before adding this feature
check, users were able to get turbo mode frequencies by writing 0 to
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo post-boot.

To restore the old behavior on the affected systems while still
addressing the unchecked MSR issue on some Skylake-X systems, check
X86_FEATURE_IDA only immediately before updates of MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL
that may involve setting the Turbo Engage Bit (bit 32).
