When cpuidle drivers do not supply explicit power_usage values,
cpuidle/driver.c inserts dummy values instead. When a running processor
dynamically gains new C-states (e.g. after ACPI events), the power_usage
values of those states will stay uninitialized, and cpuidle governors
will never choose to enter them.
This patch ensures that the ACPI cpuidle driver sets those dummy power
values itself whenever it (re-)initializes its idle states.
Tested and verified on an Acer AC700 Chromebook, which supports the C3
state only when it switches from AC to battery power.
