[RFC PATCH v2 1/2] power/cpuidle: enhance the precision of state select

[zhaoyang.huang@linaro.org]

From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@spreadtrum.com>

In previous version, cpu_pm_enter is invoked after the governor
select the state, which cause the executing time of cpu_pm_enter
is included in the idle time. Moving it before the state selection.
