[PATCH] powerpc/pseries/cpuidle: add polling idle for shared processor guests

[Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>]

For shared processor guests (e.g., KVM), add an idle polling mode rather
than immediately returning to the hypervisor when the guest CPU goes
idle.

Test setup is a 2 socket POWER9 with 4 guests running, each with vCPUs
equal to 1/2 of real of CPUs. Saturated each guest with tbench. Using
polling idle gives about 1.4x throughput.

Kernel compile speed was not changed significantly.
