KVM: s390: set halt polling to 80 microseconds
on s390 we disabled the halt polling with commit 920552b2 ("KVM: disable halt_poll_ns as default for s390x"), as floating interrupts would let all CPUs have a successful poll, resulting in much higher CPU usage (on otherwise idle systems). With the improved selection of polls we can now retry halt polling. Performance measurements with different choices like 25,50,80,100,200 microseconds showed that 80 microseconds seems to improve several cases without increasing the CPU costs too much. Higher values would improve the performance even more but increased the cpu time as well. So let's start small and use this value of 80 microseconds on s390 until we have a better understanding of cost/benefit of higher values.
