Subject: [PATCH 2/6] ARM: cpuidle: Remove overzealous error logging

CPUidle back-end operations are not implemented in some platforms
but this should not be considered an error serious enough to be
logged. Check the arm_cpuidle_init() return value to detect whether
the failure must be reported or not in the kernel log and do
not log it if the platform does not support CPUidle operations.
