[RESEND PATCH v2 1/2] power/cpuidle: enhance the precision of state select

From: Zhaoyang Huang
Date: Fri Jun 17 2016 - 05:13:53 EST


In previous version, cpu_pm_enter is invoked after the governor
select the state, which cause the executing time of cpu_pm_enter
is included in the idle time. Moving it before the state selection.
