[CPUFREQ] ondemand - Use global sysfs dir for tuning settings

Ondemand has only global variables for userspace tunings via sysfs.
But they were exposed per CPU which wrongly implies to the user that
his settings are applied per cpu. Also locking sysfs against concurrent
access won't be necessary anymore after deprecation time.

This means the ondemand config dir is moved:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/ondemand ->
     /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand

The old files will still exist, but reading or writing to them will
result in one (printk_once) deprecation msg to syslog per file.
