Subject: [RFC 1/4] cpuidle: define the enter function in the driver structure

We have the state index passed as parameter to the 'enter' function.
Most of the drivers assign their 'enter' functions several times in
the cpuidle_state structure, as we have the index, we can delegate
to the driver to handle their own callback array.

That will have the benefit of removing multiple lines of code in the
different drivers.

In order to smoothly modify the driver, the 'enter' function are in
the driver structure and in the cpuidle state structure. That will
let the time to modify the different drivers one by one.
So the 'cpuidle_enter' function checks if the 'enter' callback is
assigned in the driver structure and use it, otherwise it invokes
the 'enter' assigned to the cpuidle_state.
