From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The commit 78eaa10f027c ("cpuidle: powernv/pseries: Auto-promotion of
snooze to deeper idle state") introduced a timeout for the snooze idle
state so that it could be eventually be promoted to a deeper idle
state. The snooze timeout value is static and set to the target
residency of the next idle state, which would train the cpuidle
governor to pick the next idle state eventually.

The unfortunate side-effect of this is that if the next idle state(s)
is disabled, the CPU will forever remain in snooze, despite the fact
that the system is completely idle, and other deeper idle states are
available.

This patch fixes the issue by dynamically setting the snooze timeout
to the target residency of the next enabled state on the device.

Before Patch
==================
POWER8 : Only nap disabled.
 $cpupower monitor sleep 30
sleep took 30.01297 seconds and exited with status 0
              |Idle_Stats

stop2) disabled:
