[meta-freescale] [meta-fsl-arm][PATCH 2/2] linux-imx-rt: Use 'performance' as default cpufreq governor

Since CPU frequency scaling is a bad idea for real-time systems anyway,
use 'performance' and disable the remaining cpufreq governors.

Avoids the following issue:

  BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/0/0/0x00000002
  Modules linked in:
  Preemption disabled at:[<  (null)>]   (null)
