Subject: [PATCH 1/2][v3] PM / s2idle: Clear _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG before suspend to idle

Suspend to idle was found to not work on Goldmont CPU recently.
And the issue was triggered due to:

1. On Goldmont the CPU in idle can only be woken up via IPIs,
   not POLLING mode:
   Commit 08e237fa56a1 ("x86/cpu: Add workaround for MONITOR
   instruction erratum on Goldmont based CPUs")
2. When the CPU is entering suspend to idle process, the
   _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is kept on, due to cpuidle_enter_s2idle()
   doesn't properly match call_cpuidle().
3. Commit b2a02fc43a1f ("smp: Optimize send_call_function_single_ipi()")
   makes use of _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG to avoid sending IPIs to
   idle CPUs.
4. As a result, some IPIs related functions might not work
   well during suspend to idle on Goldmont. For example, one
   suspected victim:
   tick_unfreeze() -> timekeeping_resume() -> hrtimers_resume()
   -> clock_was_set() -> on_each_cpu() might wait forever,
   because the IPIs will not be sent to the CPUs which are
   sleeping with _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG set, and Goldmont CPU
   could not be woken up by only setting _TIF_NEED_RESCHED
   on the monitor address.

Clear the _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG flag before entering suspend to idle,
and let the driver's enter_s2idle() to decide whether to set
_TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG or not. So that to avoid the scenario described
above and keep the context consistent with before.

v2: According to Peter's review, v1 is racy, if someone already
    set TIF_NEED_RESCHED this patch just clear POLLING and go to sleep.
    Check TIF_NEED_RESCHED before entering suspend to idle and
    adjust the naming to be consistent with call_cpuidle().

v3: According to Rafael, it would be better to do the simplest fix
   first and then do the cleanup on top of it.
