[PATCH v4 2/6] powerpc/idle: Add accessor function to always read latest idle PURR

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Currently when CPU goes idle, we take a snapshot of PURR via
pseries_idle_prolog() which is used at the CPU idle exit to compute
the idle PURR cycles via the function pseries_idle_epilog(). Thus,
the value of idle PURR cycle thus read before pseries_idle_prolog() and
after pseries_idle_epilog() is always correct.

However, if we were to read the idle PURR cycles from an interrupt
context between pseries_idle_prolog() and pseries_idle_epilog() (this will
be done in a future patch), then, the value of the idle PURR thus read
will not include the cycles spent in the most recent idle period.

This patch addresses the issue by providing accessor function to read
the idle PURR such such that it includes the cycles spent in the most
recent idle period, if we read it between pseries_idle_prolog() and
pseries_idle_epilog(). In order to achieve it, the patch saves the
snapshot of PURR in pseries_idle_prolog() in a per-cpu variable,
instead of on the stack, so that it can be accessed from an interrupt
context.
