[RFC PATCH] power: move pm_qos update timeout handler to power-efficient workqueue

[Zoran Markovic]

From: Shaibal Dutta <shaibal.dutta@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

To avoid waking up idle CPUs, allow the scheduler to select the best CPU
to handle pm_qos update timeouts. This extends idle residency times and
conserves power.

This functionality is enabled when CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is selected.
