[PATCH 1/2] sched / idle: Drop default_idle_call() fallback from call_cpuidle()

["Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@rjwysocki.net>]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

After commit 9c4b2867ed7c (cpuidle: menu: Fix menu_select() for
CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START == 0) it is clear that menu_select()
cannot return negative values.  Moreover, ladder_select_state()
will never return a negative value too, so make find_deepest_state()
return non-negative values too and drop the default_idle_call()
fallback from call_cpuidle().

This eliminates one branch from the idle loop and makes the governors
and find_deepest_state() handle the case when all states have been
disabled from sysfs consistently.

CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START == 0) is in linux-next only ATM.
