[RFC PATCH 3/4] cpuidle: psci: pass state idle time before state enter callback

Some platforms use separate CPU firmware to handle all state transition
decisions and may need runtime state idle time of the target state it is
going to enter.

This patch calls set_state_idle_time psci operation callback to pass the
state idle time to TF-A through PSCI before calling psci_enter_state.
