We already had few integer overflow bugs, let's limit the freq for
consistency.

Once again, did you meet this case sometimes?

Usually, we can prevent the overflow of target_freq
when calculating the target frequency or this style.

I think that if the overflow of target frequency happen frequently,
it might have the problem of calculation way.

This case happens at least whenever CPU's freq accounting returns
KHZ_MAX, please see actmon_emc_ratios[] and actmon_cpu_to_emc_rate().

It is possible to get sampled avg_count from hardware that results in
target_freq > max_freq because translating number of memory events to
memory frequency has some calculation error, although it is negligible.

In fact, it shouldn't matter that the returned target_freq > max_freq
with the current driver's code structure and in the commit's message I
wrote that this change is done for consistency. Hence it should be okay
to drop this patch as well.
