Subject: [PATCH 4/4] sched / idle: Call default_idle_call() from cpuidle_enter_state()

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

The check of the cpuidle_enter() return value against -EBUSY
made in call_cpuidle() will not be necessary any more if
cpuidle_enter_state() calls default_idle_call() directly when it
is about to return -EBUSY, so make that happen and eliminate the
check.
