Subject: [PATCH v2] ARM: cpuidle: make arm_cpuidle_suspend() a bit more efficient

Currently, we check cpuidle_ops.suspend every time when entering a
low-power idle state. But this check could be avoided in this hot path
by moving it into arm_cpuidle_read_ops() to reduce arm_cpuidle_suspend
overhead a bit.

Since v1:
 - drop patch1, I.E "ARM: cpuidle: fix !cpuidle_ops[cpu].init case
   during init", because there may be platforms which doesn't need the
   init member at all.
 - adopt Daniel's suggestion to move the cpuidle_ops.suspend check to
   arm_cpuidle_read_ops().
