ARM cpuidle is a trainwreck :/

So it looks like we have:

 - clkdm_
 - pwrdm_
 - cpu_pm_
 - pm_runtime_

In that approximate order, and then there's the coupled idle muck.
Sometimes cpuidle core calls cpu_pm_*(), but mostly it's sprinkled
around in drivers.

How about we unconditionally kill tracing when RCU is idle? Yes this is
a hack, and we really should turn it into a WARN in due time.

The thing is, we're shutting down clock/power domains and god knows
what, the CPU is in a crap state, we'll not take interrupts, but tracing
must happen! Hell no.

Let's make the rule that if you want something traced, you get to pull
it out of the cpuidle driver and stick it in the generic code with a
CPUIDLE_FLAG, before rcu_idle_enter().

Totally untested patch below..
