Subject: [PATCH 2/4] cpuidle: Check the sign of index in cpuidle_reflect()

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

Avoid calling the governor's ->reflect method if the state index
passed to cpuidle_reflect() is negative.

This allows the analogous check to be dropped from menu_reflect(),
so do that too, and ensures that arbitrary error codes can be
passed to cpuidle_reflect() as the index with no adverse
consequences.
