sched: idle: Consolidate the handling of two special cases
There are two special cases in the idle loop that are handled inconsistently even though they are analogous. The first one is when a cpuidle driver is absent and the default CPU idle time power management implemented by the architecture code is used. In that case, the scheduler tick is stopped every time before invoking default_idle_call(). The second one is when a cpuidle driver is present, but there is only one idle state in its table. In that case, the scheduler tick is never stopped at all. Since each of these approaches has its drawbacks, reconcile them with the help of one simple heuristic. Namely, stop the tick if the CPU has been woken up by it in the previous iteration of the idle loop, or let it tick otherwise. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
