Subject: [PATCH 2/8] cpuidle: Rename X86 specific idle poll state[0] from C0 to CPUIDLE

C0 means and is well know as "not idle".
All documentation out there uses this term as "running"/"not idle"
state. Also Linux userspace tools (e.g. cpufreq-aperf and turbostat)
show C0 residency which there is correct, but means something totally
else than cpuidle "POLL" state.
