cpuidle: governors: teo: Rework the handling of tick wakeups

If the wakeup pattern is clearly dominated by tick wakeups, count those
wakeups as hits on the deepest available idle state to increase the
likelihood of stopping the tick, especially on systems where there are
only 2 usable idle states and the tick can only be stopped when the
deeper state is selected.

This change is expected to reduce power on some systems where state 0 is
selected relatively often even though they are almost idle.  Without it,
the governor may end up selecting the shallowest idle state all the time
even if the system is almost completely idle due all tick wakeups being
counted as hits on that state and preventing the tick from being stopped
at all.
