CPU is active when have running tasks on it and CPUFreq governor can
select different operating points (OPP) according to different workload;
we use 'pstate' to present CPU state which have running tasks with one
specific OPP.  On the other hand, CPU is idle which only idle task on
it, CPUIdle governor can select one specific idle state to power off
hardware logics; we use 'cstate' to present CPU idle state.

Based on trace events 'cpu_idle' and 'cpu_frequency' we can accomplish
the duration statistics for every state.  Every time when CPU enters
into or exits from idle states, the trace event 'cpu_idle' is recorded;
trace event 'cpu_frequency' records the event for CPU OPP changing, so
it's easily to know how long time the CPU stays in the specified OPP,
and the CPU must be not in any idle state.

This patch is to utilize the mentioned trace events for pstate and
cstate statistics.  To achieve more accurate profiling data, the program
uses below sequence ...
