intel_idle: disable NHM/WSM HW C-state auto-demotion
Hardware C-state auto-demotion is a mechanism where the HW overrides
the OS C-state request, instead demoting to a shallower state,
which is less expensive, but saves less power.
Modern Linux should generally get exactly the states it requests.
In particular, when a CPU is taken off-line, it must not be demoted, else
it can prevent the entire package from reaching deep C-states.
