[PATCH v7 4/4] x86/smp native_play_dead: Prefer cpuidle_play_dead() over mwait_play_dead()

[Patryk Wlazlyn <patryk.wlazlyn@linux.intel.com>]

The current algorithm* for looking up the mwait hint for the deepest
cstate, in mwait_play_dead() code works by inspecting CPUID leaf 0x5 and
calculates the mwait hint based on the number of reported substates.
This approach depends on the hints associated with them to be continuous
in the range [0, NUM_SUBSTATES-1]. This continuity is not documented and
is not met on the recent Intel platforms.

 * The current algorithm is implemented in the for loop inspecting edx
   in mwait_play_dead().

For example, Intel's Sierra Forest report two cstates with two substates
each in cpuid leaf 0x5:

  Name*   target cstate    target subcstate (mwait hint)
  ===========================================================
  C1      0x00             0x00
  C1E     0x00             0x01

  --      0x10             ----

  C6S     0x20             0x22
  C6P     0x20             0x23

  --      0x30             ----

  /* No more (sub)states all the way down to the end. */
  ===========================================================

   * Names of the cstates are not included in the CPUID leaf 0x5, they are
     taken from the product specific documentation.

Notice that hints 0x20 and 0x21 are skipped entirely for the target
cstate 0x20 (C6), being a cause of the problem for the current cpuid
leaf 0x5 algorithm.

Remove the old implementation of play_dead MWAIT hint calculation based
on the CPUID leaf 0x5 in mwait_play_dead() and delegate calling of the
mwait_play_dead_with_hint() to the idle driver.
