mb/google/{rex,ovis}: Decrease EPP to 45% for MTL performance expectation
The default EPP is set at 50%, which is deemed insufficiently
aggressive for meeting the MTL performance expectations in
balance_performance mode.
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/energy_performance_preference
balance_performance
# iotools rdmsr 0 0x774
0x0000000080003f06
EPP=45% is giving the required performance in MTL.
# iotools rdmsr 0 0x774
0x0000000073003d06
NOTE: Kernel changes are necessary to ensure that the EPP (Energy Performance Preference) configured in the BIOS is not overwritten: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/13461932
BUG=b:314275133
TEST=Build and boot.
