cpuidle-haltpoll: Replace default_idle() with arch_cpu_idle()
When a KVM guest has MWAIT, mwait_idle() is used as the default idle function. However, the cpuidle-haltpoll driver calls default_idle() from default_enter_idle() directly and that one uses HLT instead of MWAIT, which may affect performance adversely, because MWAIT is preferred to HLT as explained by the changelog of commit aebef63cf7ff ("x86: Remove vendor checks from prefer_mwait_c1_over_halt"). Make default_enter_idle() call arch_cpu_idle(), which can use MWAIT, instead of default_idle() to address this issue. Suggested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Suggested-by: Rafael J.
