Subject: [PATCH 3/5] x86,idle: Reset correction factor

In general case, the expected residency is much larger than deepest C-state
target residency, but prediction logic still predicts the small predicted
residency, so the prediction history is totally broken. In this situation,
reset the correction factor is the only choice.
