[PATCH 2/2][V2] cpuidle - optimize the select function for the 'menu' governor

[Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano-QSEj5FYQhm4dnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org>]

As the power is backward sorted in the states array and we are looking for
the state consuming the little power as possible, instead of looking from
the beginning of the array, we look from the end. That should save us some
iterations in the loop each time we select a state at idle time.
