[PATCH] cpuidle: menu governor: reduce latency on exit

[Corrado Zoccolo <czoccolo@xxxxxxxxx>]

This patch moves the state residency accounting and statistics
computation off the hot exit path.
On exit, the need to recompute statistics is recorded, and new
statistics will be computed when menu_select is called again.
