mb/google/{rex,ovis}: Disable package C-state auto demotion for rex & ovis

Package C-state auto demotion feature allows hardware to determine lower
C-state as per platform policy. Since platform sets performance policy
to balanced from hardware, auto demotion can be disabled without
performance impact.

Also, disabling this feature results soc to enter below PC8 state and
additional power savings ~30mW in Local-Video-Playback scenario.

BUG=b:303546334
TEST=Local build successfully & Boot to OS successfully
 - Also check platform enter PC8 state in local video playback
 - before this change: # iotools rdmsr 0 0xE2 -> 0x0000000060008008
 - After # iotools rdmsr 0 0xE2 -> 0x0000000000008008
