Currently, we check cpuidle_ops.suspend every time when entering a
low-power idle state. But this check could be avoided in this hot path
by moving it into arm_cpuidle_init() to reduce arm_cpuidle_suspend()
overhead a bit.

I agree with the optimization but, same comment than the previous patch, it should be handled in arm_cpuidle_read_ops.
