powercap: idle_inject: Support 100% idle injection

Browse Source 
The users of the idle injection framework allow 100% idle injection. For
example: thermal/cpuidle_cooling.c driver. When the ratio is set to
100%, the runtime_duration becomes zero.

However, idle_inject_set_duration() in the idle injection framework
silently ignores run_duration_us == 0 without any error (it is a void
function). The caller will then assume that everything is fine and
100% idle is effective, but in reality the idle duration will not
change.

There are two options:

 - The caller may change their max state to 99% instead of 100% and
   document that 100% is not supported by the idle inject framework.

 - Add 100% idle support to the idle inject framework.

Since there are other protections via RT throttling, this framework can
allow 100% idle. The RT throttling will be activated at 95% idle by
default. The caller disabling RT throttling and injecting 100% idle,
should be aware that CPU can't be used at all.

The idle inject timer is started for (run_duration_us + idle_duration_us)
duration. Hence replace (run_duration_us && idle_duration_us) with
(run_duration_us + idle_duration_us) in the function
idle_inject_set_duration(). Also check for !(run_duration_us +
idle_duration_us) to return -EINVAL in idle_inject_start().
