[PATCH v3 2/3] x86/smp native_play_dead: Prefer cpuidle_play_dead() over mwait_play_dead()

[Patryk Wlazlyn]

The generic implementation, based on cpuid leaf 0x5, for looking up the
mwait hint for the deepest cstate, depends on them to be continuous in
range [0, NUM_SUBSTATES-1]. While that is correct on most Intel x86
platforms, it is not architectural and may not result in reaching the
most optimized idle state on some of them.

Prefer cpuidle_play_dead() over the generic mwait_play_dead() loop and
fallback to the later in case of missing enter_dead() handler.
