ACPI: Fix the incorrect calculation about C-state idle time

Browse Source 
The C-state idle time is not calculated correctly, which will return the wrong
residency time in C-state. It will have the following effects:
   1.  The system can't choose the deeper C-state when it is idle next time.
Of course the system power is increased. E.g. On one server machine about 40W
idle power is increased.
   2.  The powertop shows that it will stay in C0 running state about 95% time
although the system is idle at most time.
