cpuidle: fix number of initialized/destroyed states 

Commit bf4d1b5ddb (cpuidle: support
multiple drivers) changed the number of initialized state kobjects
in cpuidle_add_state_sysfs() from device->state_count to
drv->state_count, but left device->state_count in
cpuidle_remove_state_sysfs().  The values of these two fields may be
different, in which case a NULL pointer dereference may happen in
cpuidle_remove_state_sysfs(), for example.  Fix this problem by making
cpuidle_add_state_sysfs() use device->state_count too (which restores
the original behavior of it).
