    cpuidle: menu: fixed wrapping timers at 4.294 seconds

    BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774947

    Cpuidle menu governor is using u32 as a temporary datatype for storing
    nanosecond values which wrap around at 4.294 seconds. This causes errors
    in predicted sleep times resulting in higher than should be C state
    selection and increased power consumption. This also breaks cpuidle
    state residency statistics.

This should fix a bug with incorrect C state selection which lead to
increased power consumption.
