Subject: [RFC v3 2/3] cpuidle : Add callback whenever a state usage is enabled/disabled

To force wakeup a cpu, we need to compute the timeout in the fast idle
path as a state may be enabled or disabled but there did not exist a
feedback to driver when a state is enabled or disabled.
This patch adds a callback whenever a state_usage records a store for
disable attribute.
