Subject: [PATCH 2/4] perf symbols: Add 'arch_cpu_idle' to the list of kernel idle symbols

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>

When testing 'perf top' on a armhf system (32-bit, Orange Pi Zero), I
noticed that 'arch_cpu_idle' dominated, add it to the list of idle
symbols, so that we can see what is that being done when not idle.
