[PATCH] cpuidle/powernv: Enter fastsleep on checking if deep idle states are allowed

Today the procfs interface /proc/sys/kernel/powersave-nap is used to control
entry into deep idle states beyond snooze. Check for the value of this
parameter before entering fastsleep. We already do this check for nap in
power7_idle().
