[6/7] cpuidle: Handle TIF_NR_POLLING on behalf of CPUIDLE_FLAG_POLLING_HARD states

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

The current handling of TIF_NR_POLLING is a bit of a maze:

1) A common brief part in the generic idle loop sets TIF_NR_POLLING
  while cpuidle selects an appropriate state and the tick is evaluated
  and then stopped. Summary: One pair of set/clear

2) The state cpuidle is then called with TIF_NR_POLLING cleared but if
  the state polls on need_resched() (software or hardware), it sets
  again TIF_NR_POLLING and clears it when it completes. Summary: another
  pair of set/clear

3) goto 1)

However those costly atomic operations, fully ordered RmW for some of
them, could be avoided if the cpuidle core knew in advance if the target
state polls on need_resched(). If so, TIF_NR_POLLING could simply be
set once before entering the idle loop and cleared once after idle loop
exit.

Start dealing with that with handling TIF_NR_POLLING on behalf of
CPUIDLE_FLAG_POLLING_HARD states.

Since you are removing call_cpuidle(), you may as well remove
call_cpuidle_s2idle() which only has one caller anyway.

Doing so in a seperate patch. Thanks!
