If the :enter_dead() idle state callback fails for a certain state,
there may be still a shallower state for which it will work.

Because the only caller of cpuidle_play_dead(), native_play_dead(),
falls back to hlt_play_dead() if it returns an error, it should
better try all of the idle states for which :enter_dead() is present
before failing, so change it accordingly.

Well, would you prefer something like

for (i = drv->state_count - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
        if (drv->states[i].enter_dead)
                drv->states[i].enter_dead(dev, i);
}

and adding a comment before the final return statement that
:enter_dead() only returns on failure?
