All deeper c-state have the longer target_residency and exit_latency
So, if the one can not meet our prediction, neither any later.
So, just break out the for loop to save few checking instructions.

Well, there is no rule telling in what order the idle states are, except 
they are ordered by power consumption.

But regarding how are defined the different idle states in the drivers, 
I think this patch makes sense.
