[PATCH v10 05/11] arm64: add support for poll_idle()

[Ankur Arora]

Polling in idle helps reduce the cost of remote wakeups: if the target
sets TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG (as it does while polling in idle), the scheduler
can do remote wakeups just by setting the TIF_NEED_RESCHED.

This contrasts with sending an IPI, and incurring the cost of handling
the cost of the interrupt on the receiver.

Enabling poll_idle() needs a cheap mechanism to do the actual polling
(via smp_cond_load_relaxed_timewait()) and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG support.

arm64 has both of these. So, select ARCH_HAS_OPTIMIZED_POLL.
