[RFC V2 1/3] cpuidle: Remove pm_idle pointer for x86

[Trinabh Gupta]

This patch reomves pm_idle function pointer and directly calls
cpuidle_idle_call from the idle loop on x86. CPUIdle has to be
built into the kernel.

Archs that still use pm_idle can continue to set
pm_idle=cpuidle_idle_call() and co-exist.  This will need #ifdefs
in cpuidle.c and has not been implemented yet in this RFC.
