Thanks for your comments.

For example, we call cpuidle_cooling_set_cur_state() twice, first time
the input parameter state is 20, second time the input parameter state
is 30.

In current code, in the second call of cpuidle_cooling_set_cur_state(),
current_state == 20, state == 30, then "if (current_state == 0 &&
state > 0)" is not satisfied, "else if (current_state > 0 && !state)"
is not satisfied either, so we just update idle_cdev->state to 30 and
idle_inject_set_duration to new injection cycle，but we do not call
idle injection code.

In the example mentioned above, we should call idle injection code. If
idle_inject_start() takes into account by the idle injection code at
the new injection cycle, then just calling idle_inject_start() is ok.
Otherwise, we need a restart or stop->start process to execute idle
injection code at the new state 30.
