devfreq stats is not taking device suspend and resume into account. Fix it.

With monitor_suspend(), we are suspending the DVFS mechanism of a device, not the device itself.
Thus, the device may keep its frequency running and we may assume that the frequency is constant as the DVFS mechanism is in suspend.
Why do you want to stop the statistics as well?
There seems to be misunderstanding of devfreq_monitor_suspend() and devfreq_monitor_resume() apis usage.
Typically devfreq_monitor_suspend() would be called to suspend the device devfreq when device is entering idle state by powering off(clocks and voltage). When device itself is off, it's incorrect to allow stats to continue.
Again, as in the other patch, this is about the semantics of the "devfreq statistics".
It does not seem to be a problem of which is correct and which is not, but it seems to be a problem of which is more convenient.
Could you please give me some cases where your semantics is more helpful?
When gpu is powered off, gpu devfreq should be suspended and hence the stats.
I've been using the stat feature like this:
# cat stat; run benchmark; cat stat and look at the differences with any ops done during "run benchmark".
Cheers, MyungJoo.
