Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] cpuidle-haltpoll: ensure grow start value is nonzero

dev->poll_limit_ns could be zeroed in certain cases (e.g. by
guest_halt_poll_ns = 0). If guest_halt_poll_grow_start is zero,
dev->poll_limit_ns will never be bigger than zero.

Use param callback to avoid writing zero to guest_halt_poll_grow_start.
