[PATCH RFC 1/3] cpuidle: Replace use_deepest_state flag by use_latency

From: Daniel Lezcano
Date: Wed Nov 13 2019 - 13:54:37 EST


We want to specify a latency constraint when choosing an idle state at
play_idle time. Instead of duplicating the information in the
structure or propagate the latency in the call stack, change the
use_deepest_state by use_latency to introduce this constraint.

A zero latency constraint means "do not use the deepest idle state
path" as the 'use_deepest_state' boolean was used in the
cpuidle_idle_call.
