Subject: [PATCH 1/3] cpuidle/menu: stop seeking deeper idle if current state is too deep

The obsolete commit 71abbbf85 want to introduce a dynamic cstates,
but it was removed for long time. Just left the nonsense deeper cstate
checking.

Since all target_residency and exit_latency are going longer in deeper
idle state, no needs to waste some cpu cycle on useless seeking.
