Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 07/11] cpuidle: make idle residency update more generic

From: Aubrey Li <aubrey.li@...ux.intel.com>

Current cpuidle governor updates the last idle residency with the
hardware c-state exit latency, which is not applicable for fast
idle path, so we update idle residency in idle routine instead.
