cpuidle: fix 100% C0 statistics regression

commit 9b12e18cdc1553de62d931e73443c806347cd974
'ACPI: cpuidle: Support C1 idle time accounting'
was implicated in a 100% C0 idle regression.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10076

It pointed out a potential problem where the menu governor
may get confused by the C-state residency time from poll
idle or C1 idle, where this timing info is not accurate.
This inaccuracy is due to interrupts being handled
before we account for C-state exit.

Do not mark TIME_VALID for CO poll state.
Mark C1 time as valid only with the MWAIT (CSTATE_FFH) entry method.

This makes governors use the timing information only when it is correct and
eliminates any wrong policy decisions that may result from invalid timing
information.
