tools/power: turbostat: fix large c1% issue
Under some conditions, c1% was displayed as very large number, much higher than 100%. c1% is not measured, it is derived as "that, which is left over" from other counters. However, the other counters are not collected atomically, and so it is possible for c1% to be calaculagted as a small negative number -- displayed as very large positive. There was a check for mperf vs tsc for this already, but it needed to also include the other counters that are used to calculate c1. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
