[patch 1/3] cpuidle: Do not use poll_idle unless user asks for it

[venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com]

[-- Attachment #1: not_use_poll_idle_unless_asked_for.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4025 bytes --]

poll_idle was added to CPUIDLE, just as a low latency idle handler, to be
used in cases when user desires CPUs not to enter any idle state at all. It
was supposed to be a run time idle=poll option to the user. But, it was indeed
getting used during normal menu and ladder governor default case, with no
special user setting (Reported by Linus Torvalds).

Change below ensures that poll_idle will not be used unless user explicitly
asks pm_qos infrastructure for zero latency requirement.
