    cpuidle: poll_state: Revise loop termination condition · 01bad1c6
    Rafael J. Wysocki authored
    If need_resched() returns "false", breaking out of the loop in
    poll_idle() will cause a new idle state to be selected, so in fact
    it usually doesn't make sense to spin in it longer than the target
    residency of the second state.  [Note that the "polling" state is
    used only if there is at least one "real" state defined in addition
    to it, so the second state is always there.]  On the other hand,
    breaking out of it early (say in case the next state is disabled)
    shouldn't hurt as it is polling anyway.
    
    For this reason, make the loop in poll_idle() break if the CPU has
    been spinning longer than the target residency of the second state
    (the "polling" state can only be state[0]).
