[PATCH] cpuidle: remove dead code in cpuidle_enter_state

From: Dhruva Gole
Date: Wed Aug 21 2024 - 08:04:37 EST


Checking for index < 0 is useless because the find_deepest_state
function never really returns a negative value. Since this code hasn't
been reported in over 9 years it's dead code. Hence, remove it.
