x86/cpuidle: publish new states only after fully initializing them Since state information coming from Dom0 can arrive at any time, on any CPU, we ought to make sure that a new state is fully initialized before the target CPU might be using it. Once touching that code, also do minor cleanup: A missing (but benign) "break" and some white space adjustments.
