ACPI: processor_idle: Fix invalid comparison with insertion sort for latency
The acpi_cst_latency_cmp() comparison function currently used for
sorting C-state latencies does not satisfy transitivity, causing
incorrect sorting results.
Specifically, if there are two valid acpi_processor_cx elements A and B
and one invalid element C, it may occur that A < B, A = C, and B = C.
Sorting algorithms assume that if A < B and A = C, then C < B, leading
to incorrect ordering.
Given the small size of the array (<=8), we replace the library sort
function with a simple insertion sort that properly ignores invalid
elements and sorts valid ones based on latency. This change ensures
correct ordering of the C-state latencies.
