Subject: [PATCH] ACPI / cpuidle: Remove acpi_idle_suspend (to fix suspend regression)

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

After commit e978aa7d7d57d04eb5f88a7507c4fb98577def77 (cpuidle: Move
dev->last_residency update to driver enter routine; remove
dev->last_state) setting acpi_idle_suspend to 1 by
acpi_processor_suspend() causes the ACPI cpuidle routines to return
error codes continuously, which in turn causes cpuidle to lock up
(hard).  However, acpi_idle_suspend doesn't appear to be useful for
any particular purpose (it's racy and doesn't really provide any real
protection), so it can be removed, which makes the problem go away.
