So pretty silly actually; you cannot do a store (any store) in between
monitor and mwait.

The below version seems to work properly again with both acpi_idle and
intel_idle.

Now to go make that preempt_disable_no_resched cleanup compile.. :-)

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

People seem to delight in writing wrong and broken mwait idle routines;
collapse the lot.

This leaves mwait_play_dead() the sole remaining user of __mwait() and
new __mwait() users are probably doing it wrong.

Also remove __sti_mwait() as its unused.
