drivers/cpuidle: Move dereference after NULL test

It does not seem possible that ldev can be NULL, so drop the unnecessary
test.  If ldev can somehow be NULL, then the initialization of last_idx
should be moved below the test.

A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this problem is as
follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):

// <smpl>
@match exists@
expression x, E;
identifier fld;
@@

* x->fld
  ... when != \(x = E\|&x\)
* x == NULL
// </smpl>
