AFAICS since the ->select() callback has already run we should
set last_residency_ns == 0, like the need_resched() path in
call_cpuidle() does?
At least menu has a semantic difference in how it decays values
for get_typical_interval() between a UINT_MAX (i.e. invalid)
residency and one it's never seen?
