Subject: [PATCH v4] PM: EM: Fix potential division-by-zero error in em_compute_costs()

From: Yaxiong Tian <tianyaxiong@...inos.cn>

When the device is of a non-CPU type, table[i].performance won't be
initialized in the previous em_init_performance(), resulting in division
by zero when calculating costs in em_compute_costs().

Since the 'cost' algorithm is only used for EAS energy efficiency
calculations and is currently not utilized by other device drivers, we
should add the _is_cpu_device(dev) check to prevent this division-by-zero
issue.

Fixes: 1b600da51073 ("PM: EM: Optimize em_cpu_energy() and remove division")
