[PATCH 2/3] cpuidle: teo: Avoid expecting unrealistic idle times

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

If an idle state shallower than the one "matching" the time till the
next timer event is considered for selection, expect the idle duration
to fall in the middle of the "bin" corresponding to that state rather
than at the beginning of it which is unrealistic.
