[CPUFREQ] Resolve time unit thinko in ondemand/conservative govs

ondemand and conservative governors are messing up time units in the
code path where NO_HZ is not enabled and ignore_nice is set. The walltime
idletime stored is in jiffies and nice time calculation is happening in
microseconds.

The problem was reported and diagnosed by Alexander here.
