sched, x86: Remove broken power estimation
The x86 sched power implementation has been broken forever and gets in the way of other stuff, remove it. For archaeological interest, fixing this code would require dealing with the cross-cpu calling of these functions and more importantly, we need to filter idle time out of the a/m-perf stuff because the ratio will go down to 0 when idle, giving a 0 capacity which is not what we'd want.
