The idle cpus which stay in snooze for a long period can degrade the
perfomance of the sibling cpus. If the cpu stays in snooze for more
than target residency of the next available idle state, then exit from
snooze. This gives a chance to the cpuidle governor to re-evaluate the
last idle state of the cpu to promote it to deeper idle states.

The only place where the time is invalid is when the ACPI_CSTATE_FFH entry
method is not set. Otherwise for all the drivers, the time can be correctly
measured.
Instead of duplicating the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_VALID flag in all the drivers
for all the states, just invert the logic by replacing it by the flag
CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID, hence we can set this flag only for the acpi idle
driver, remove the former flag from all the drivers and invert the logic with
this flag in the different governor.

Commit d8c6ad3184 ("sched/idle, PPC: Remove redundant
cpuidle_idle_call()") reintroduced ppc64_runlatch_off/on() in the
pseries cpuidle backend driver. Hence the cleanup caused by the
commit "c0c4301c54adde05:pseries/cpuidle: Remove redundant call
to ppc64_runlatch_off() in cpu idle routines" in conjuction
with the commit d8c6ad3184 causes a build failure.

The core idle loop now takes care of it. However a few things need
checking:
- Invocation of cpuidle_idle_call() in pseries_lpar_idle() happened
through arch_cpu_idle() and was therefore always preceded by a call
to ppc64_runlatch_off(). To preserve this property now that
cpuidle_idle_call() is invoked directly from core code, a call to
ppc64_runlatch_off() has been added to idle_loop_prolog() in
platforms/pseries/processor_idle.c.
- Similarly, cpuidle_idle_call() was followed by ppc64_runlatch_off()
so a call to the later has been added to idle_loop_epilog().
- And since arch_cpu_idle() always made sure to re-enable IRQs if they
were not enabled, this is now
done in idle_loop_epilog() as well.
The above was made in order to keep the execution flow close to the
original. I don't know if that was strictly necessary. Someone well
aquainted with the platform details might find some room for possible
optimizations.

smt-snooze-delay was designed to disable NAP state or delay the entry
to the NAP state prior to adoption of cpuidle framework. This
is per-cpu variable. With the coming of CPUIDLE framework,
states can be disabled on per-cpu basis using the cpuidle/enable
sysfs entry.
Also, with the coming of cpuidle driver each state's target residency
is per-driver unlike earlier which was per-device. Therefore,
the per-cpu sysfs smt-snooze-delay which decides the target residency
of the idle state on a particular cpu causes more confusion to the user
as we cannot have different smt-snooze-delay (target residency)
values for each cpu.
In the current code, smt-snooze-delay functionality is completely broken.
It makes sense to remove smt-snooze-delay from idle driver with the
coming of cpuidle framework.
However, sysfs files are retained as ppc64_util currently
utilises it. Once we fix ppc64_util, propose to clean
up the kernel code.

This patch replaces the cpuidle driver and devices initialisation
calls with a single generic cpuidle_register() call
and also includes minor refactoring of the code around it.
Remove the cpu online check in snooze loop, as this code can
only locally run on a cpu only if it is online. Therefore,
this check is not required.
