Subject: [PATCH v3] ACPI: processor_idle: Fix invalid comparison with insertion sort for latency
The acpi_cst_latency_cmp comparison function currently used for sorting
C-state latencies does not satisfy transitivity, causing incorrect
sorting results. Specifically, if there are two valid acpi_processor_cx
elements A and B and one invalid element C, it may occur that A < B,
A = C, and B = C. Sorting algorithms assume that if A < B and A = C,
then C < B, leading to incorrect ordering.
Given the small size of the array (<=8), we replace the library sort
function with a simple insertion sort that properly ignores invalid
elements and sorts valid ones based on latency. This change ensures
correct ordering of the C-state latencies.
Fixes: 65ea8f2c6e23 ("ACPI: processor idle: Fix up C-state latency if not ordered")

v2 -> v3:
- Remove #include <linux/sort.h>
- Cc @stable
Note: I only performed a build test and a simple unit test to ensure
the latency of valid elements is correctly sorted in the randomly
generated data.
