cpuidle: menu governor: reduce latency on exit

Move the state residency accounting and statistics computation off the hot
exit path.

On exit, the need to recompute statistics is recorded, and new statistics
will be computed when menu_select is called again.

The expected effect is to reduce processor wakeup latency from sleep
(C-states).  We are speaking of few hundreds of cycles reduction out of a
several microseconds latency (determined by the hardware transition), so
it is difficult to measure.
