cpufreq: governor: Ensure sufficiently large sampling intervals

After commit aa7519a (cpufreq: Use transition_delay_us for legacy governors as well) the sampling_rate field of struct dbs_data may be less than the tick period which causes dbs_update() to produce incorrect results, so make the code ensure that the value of that field will always be sufficiently large.
