Subject: [RFC/RFT][PATCH 4/7] cpuidle: menu: Split idle duration prediction from state selection

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

In order to address the issue with short idle duration predictions
by the idle governor after the tick has been stopped, prepare the
menu governor code for reordering with respect to the timekeeping
code that stops the tick.

Use the observation that menu_select() can be split into two
functions, one predicting the idle duration and one selecting the
idle state, and rework it accordingly.

Introduce menu_predict() to predict the idle duration and (for now)
call it from menu_select().  The next set of changes will use
menu_predict() as a new governor callback.

This change is not expected to alter the functionality of the code.
