Extend cpuidle state detection to POWER11 by updating the PVR check.
This ensures POWER11 correctly recognizes supported stop states,
similar to POWER9 and POWER10.

Without Patch: (Power11 - PowerNV systems)

CPUidle driver: powernv_idle
CPUidle governor: menu
analyzing CPU 927:

Number of idle states: 1
Available idle states: snooze
snooze:
Flags/Description: snooze
Latency: 0
Usage: 251631
Duration: 207497715900
