sched/idle/x86: Optimize unnecessary mwait_idle() resched IPIs

commit f8e617f4 upstream.

To fully take advantage of MWAIT, apparently the CLFLUSH instruction needs
another quirk on certain CPUs: proper barriers around it on certain machines.

On a Q6600 SMP system, pipe-test scheduling performance, cross core,
improves significantly:

  3.8.13                   487.2 KHz    1.000
  3.13.0-master            415.5 KHz     .852
  3.13.0-master+           415.2 KHz     .852     + restore mwait_idle
  3.13.0-master++          488.5 KHz    1.002     + restore mwait_idle + IPI fix

Since X86_BUG_CLFLUSH_MONITOR is already a quirk, don't create a separate
quirk for the extra smp_mb()s.
