Subject[PATCH]cpuidle: preventive check in cpuidle_select against crash
When selecting the idle state using cpuidle_select, there is no
check on cpuidle_curr_governor. In cpuidle_switch_governor,
cpuidle_currr_governor can be set to NULL to specify "disabled".

Since cpuidle_select cannot return negative value, it has to return 0
in case of error. Printing logs and returning can help in debugging and
preventing possible kernel crash scenarios.
