Expose GPU utilization via /sys/kernel/debug/dri/<N>/gpu_load.  The
file reports busy_time_ns, idle_time_ns and gpu_load %.

Values are snapshotted at the end of each devfreq sampling window
(~50 ms) rather than read from live accumulators, avoiding load swings
over short observation intervals.

The snapshot is cleared on suspend to avoid stale data when the GPU
is powered off.

Add /sys/kernel/debug/dri/<N>/gpu_load to expose GPU utilisation
from the last devfreq sampling window (~50 ms).
The file reports busy_time_ns, idle_time_ns and load percentage.

Tested on NXP i.MX95 EVK (Mali-G310 V2).
