The obsolete commit 71abbbf85 want to introduce a dynamic cstates,
but it was removed for long time. Just left the nonsense deeper cstate
checking.

Since all target_residency and exit_latency are going longer in deeper
idle state, no needs to waste some cpu cycle on useless seeking.

Makes me wonder if it would be worth documenting the
requirement that c-states be listed in increasing
order?

or better, a boot time quick check...
