[PATCH 1/2] x86: move warning message of polling idle and HT enabled

[Hiroshi Shimamoto]

From: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH] x86: move warning message of polling idle and HT enabled

The warning message at idle_setup() is never shown because smp_num_sibling hasn't
been updated at this point yet.

Move this polling idle and HT enabled warning to select_idle_routine().
I also implement this warning on 64-bit kernel.
