Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 7/7] sched/idle: update poll time when wakeup from idle

In ttwu_do_wakeup, it will update avg_idle when wakeup from idle. Here
we just reuse this logic to update the poll time. It may be a little
late to update the poll in ttwu_do_wakeup, but the test result shows no
obvious performance gap compare with updating poll in irq handler.

one problem is that idle_stamp only used when using CFS scheduler. But
it is ok since it is the default policy for scheduler and only consider
it should enough.
