4.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Li, Fei <fei.li@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 41dc750ea67f317c0deedde713d1728425524ef2 upstream.

In case of there is no cpuidle devices registered, dev will be null, and
panic will be triggered like below;
In this patch, add checking of dev before usage, like that done in
cpuidle_idle_call.

Panic without fix:
