[CPUFREQ] Remove slowdown from ondemand sampling path.

Remove slowdown from ondemand sampling path. This reduces the code path length
in dbs_check_cpu() by half. slowdown was not used by ondemand by default.
If there are any user level tools that were using this tunable, they
may report error now.
