Subject: intel_idle: Fix SPR C6 optimization
Patch-mainline: v5.18-rc5
Git-commit: 7eac3bd38d18cd3317756649921b8264ddfee692
References: jsc#PED-824 jsc#PED-1936

The Sapphire Rapids (SPR) C6 optimization was added to the end of the
'spr_idle_state_table_update()' function. However, the function has a
'return' which may happen before the optimization has a chance to run.
And this may prevent the optimization from happening.

This is an unlikely scenario, but possible if user boots with, say,
the 'intel_idle.preferred_cstates=6' kernel boot option.

This patch fixes the issue by eliminating the problematic 'return'
statement.
