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.

By whom?  Not by the core surely?

"To move" usually means "take it away from there and put it here" as
far as kernel patches are concerned, but I only see it added here.

The API is provided by kernel, while invoked by cpuidle driver now. We
have ever move 'CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE' from cpufreq driver to framework. I
do the same thing here.
