cpufreq: remove redundant CPUFREQ_INCOMPATIBLE notifier event

What's being done from CPUFREQ_INCOMPATIBLE, can also be done with
CPUFREQ_ADJUST. There is nothing special with CPUFREQ_INCOMPATIBLE
notifier.

Kill CPUFREQ_INCOMPATIBLE and fix its usage sites.

This also updates the numbering of notifier events to remove holes.

These are notified when a new policy is intended to be set. Each
CPUFreq policy notifier is called three times for a policy transition:
CPUFreq policy notifier is called twice for a policy transition:
1.) During CPUFREQ_ADJUST all CPUFreq notifiers may change the limit if
they see a need for this - may it be thermal considerations or
hardware limitations.
2.) During CPUFREQ_INCOMPATIBLE only changes may be done in order to avoid
hardware failure.
3.) And during CPUFREQ_NOTIFY all notifiers are informed of the new policy
2.) And during CPUFREQ_NOTIFY all notifiers are informed of the new policy
- if two hardware drivers failed to agree on a new policy before this
stage, the incompatible hardware shall be shut down, and the user
informed of this.
