Individual CPUs may have special requirements to not enter
deep idle states. For example, a CPU running real time
applications would not want to enter deep idle states to
avoid latency impacts. At the same time other CPUs that
do not have such a requirement could allow deep idle
states to save power.

This was already implemented in the menu governor.
Implementing similar changes in the ladder governor which
gets selected when CONFIG_NO_HZ and CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE are not
set. Refer following commits for the menu governor changes.

commit 9908859acaa9 ("cpuidle/menu: add per CPU PM QoS resume
latency consideration")
commit 6dbf5cea05a7 ("cpuidle: menu: Avoid taking spinlock for
accessing QoS values")

v2:
  - use PM_QOS_RESUME_LATENCY_NO_CONSTRAINT for "no constraint" value
  Should be applied over https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10024157/
