Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle: use first valid target residency as poll time

commit 259231a045616c4101d023a8f4dcc8379af265a6 changed, by mistake,
the target residency from the first available sleep state to the last
available sleep state (which should be longer).

This might cause excessive polling.

Fixes: 259231a045616c4101d023a8f4dcc8379af265a6
