[PATCH 6.18 056/198] tools/power turbostat: Fix --show/--hide for individual cpuidle counters

[ Upstream commit b6398bc2ef3a78f1be37ba01ae0a5eedaee47803 ]

Problem: individual swidle counter names (C1, C1+, C1-, etc.) cannot be
selected via --show/--hide due to two bugs in probe_cpuidle_counts():
1. The function returns immediately when BIC_cpuidle is not enabled,
without checking deferred_add_index.
2. The deferred name check runs against name_buf before the trailing
newline is stripped, so is_deferred_add("C1\n") never matches "C1".

Fix:
1. Relax the early return to pass through when deferred names are
queued.
2. Strip the trailing newline from name_buf before performing deferred
name checks.
3. Check each suffixed variant (C1+, C1, C1-) individually so that
e.g. "--show C1+" enables only the requested metric.

In addition, introduce a helper function to avoid repeating the
condition (readability cleanup).
