cpuidle / ACPI: remove unused CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID
CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID is no longer checked by menu or ladder cpuidle governors, so don't bother setting or defining it. It was originally invented to account for the fact that acpi_safe_halt() enables interrupts to invoke HLT. That would allow interrupt service routines to be included in the last_idle duration measurements made in cpuidle_enter_state(), potentially returning a duration much larger than reality. But menu and ladder can gracefully handle erroneously large duration intervals without checking for CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID. Further, if they don't check CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID, they can also benefit from the instances when the duration interval is not erroneously large.
