Changelog now reads:

Subject: cpuidle/poll: Ensure IRQ state is invariant
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Date: Tue May 31 15:43:32 CEST 2022

cpuidle_state::enter() methods should be IRQ invariant.

Additionally make sure to use raw_local_irq_*() methods since this
cpuidle callback will be called with RCU already disabled.
