Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle: arm: make enter idle operation a bit more efficient

Currently, entering idle need to check the idx every time to choose the
real entering idle routine. But this check could be avoided by pointing
the idle enter function pointer of each idle states to the routines
suitable for each states directly.
