when !CONFIG_CPU_IDLE, arm_cpuidle_init() is inlined, and just return -EOPNOTSUPP;
Per my understanding, it will be optimized out by compiler. I'm not sure whether
there is any benefit to mark inlined function as __init. But Per my check, all
other inlined functions in linux kernel have no __init. What do you think?

Thanks,
Jisheng
