[PATCH v1 1/4] cpuidle: teo: Add polling flag check to early return path

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

After commit 6da8f9ba5a87 ("cpuidle: teo: Skip tick_nohz_get_sleep_length()
call in some cases") the teo governor behaves a bit differently on
systems where idle state 0 is a "polling" state (that is, it is not
really an idle state, but a loop continuously executed by the CPU).
Namely, on such systems it skips the tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() call
if the target residency of the current candidate idle state is small
enough.

However, if state 0 itself was to be returned, it would be returned
right away without calling tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() even on systems
where it was not a "polling" state until commit 4b20b07ce72f ("cpuidle:
teo: Don't count non-existent intercepts") that attempted to fix this
problem.

Unfortunately, commit 4b20b07ce72f has made the governor always call
tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() when about to return state 0 early, even
if that state is a "polling" one, which is inconsistent and defeats
the purpose of commit 6da8f9ba5a87 in that case.

Address this by adding a CPUIDLE_FLAG_POLLING check to the path where
state 0 is returned early to prevent tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() from
being called if it is a "polling" state.

Fixes: 4b20b07ce72f ("cpuidle: teo: Don't count non-existent intercepts")
