[RFC PATCH v5 1/2] cpuidle: teo: Optionally skip polling states in teo_find_shallower_state()

From: Kajetan Puchalski
Date: Wed Nov 30 2022 - 10:33:26 EST


Add a no_poll flag to teo_find_shallower_state() that will let the
function optionally not consider polling states.
This allows the caller to guard against the function inadvertently
resulting in TEO putting the CPU in a polling state when that
behaviour is undesirable.
