No because CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER_PARAM is a macro, the code it
preprocesses to won't dereference state[idx - 1] if idx == 0.

I agree it is *very* ugly but technically code is not broken.

Technically we are not fixing anything; it is not such a big
change, we need to allocate one entry more and update the array
indexing.
