Len Brown b73026b9c9 cpuidle: ladder: Better idle duration measurement without using CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID
When the ladder governor sees the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID flag,
it unconditionally causes a state promotion by setting last_residency
to a number higher than the state's promotion_time:

last_residency = last_state->threshold.promotion_time + 1

It does this for fear that cpuidle_get_last_residency()
will be in-accurate, because cpuidle_enter_state() invoked
a state with CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID.

But the only state with CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID is
acpi_safe_halt(), which may return well after its actual
idle duration because it enables interrupts, so cpuidle_enter_state()
also measures interrupt service time.

So what?  In ladder, a huge invalid last_residency has exactly
the same effect as the current code -- it unconditionally
causes a state promotion.

In the case where the idle residency plus measured interrupt
handling time is less than the state's demotion_time -- we should
use that timestamp to give ladder a chance to demote, rather than
unconditionally promoting.

This can be done by simply ignoring the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID,
and using the "invalid" time, as it is either equal to what we are
doing today, or better.
