[RESEND] ACPI / processor_idle: use dead loop instead of io port access for wait

From: Yin Fengwei
Date: Mon Sep 09 2019 - 03:39:42 EST


In function acpi_idle_do_entry(), we do an io port access to guarantee
hardware behavior. But it could trigger unnecessary vmexit for
virtualization environemnt.

>From the comments of this part of code, we could use busy wait instead
of io port access to guarantee hardware behavior and avoid unnecessary
vmexit.
