Documentation: introduce amd pstate active mode kernel command line options
AMD Pstate driver support another firmware based autonomous mode with "amd_pstate=active" added to the kernel command line. In autonomous mode SMU firmware decides frequencies at runtime based on workload utilization, usage in other IPs, infrastructure limits such as power, thermals and so on.
