Commit 76934e495c ("cpuidle: Add sanity check for exit latency and
target residency") had added a check to prevent the exit latency of an
idle state from exceeding its target residency that later was limited to
printing a warning message in that case in commit 4bf944f3fc ("cpuidle:
Warn instead of bailing out if target residency check fails").
However, a thorough code inspection with that in mind leads to the
conclusion that actually there are no assumptions in cpuidle regarding
the relationship between the exit latency and target residency of a
given idle state. It is generally assumed that the idle states table
provided by a cpuidle driver will be sorted by both the target residency
and exit latency in ascending order, but that's a different matter.
Accordingly, drop the check in question along with the message printed
when it triggers and the inaccurate comment preceding it.
