When the device is of a non-CPU type, table[i].performance won't be
initialized in the previous em_init_performance(), resulting in division
by zero when calculating costs in em_compute_costs().

Since the 'cost' algorithm is only used for EAS energy efficiency
calculations and is currently not utilized by other device drivers, we
should add the _is_cpu_device(dev) check to prevent this division-by-zero
issue.
