Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle: menu: Cleanup after loadavg removal
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

The performance impact of loadavg was removed with commit a7fe5190c03f
("cpuidle: menu: Remove get_loadavg() from the performance multiplier")
With only iowait remaining the description can be simplified, remove
also the no longer needed includes.
