Subject: [PATCH v12 2/7] arm64: idle: Tag the arm64 idle functions as __cpuidle

As per the (somewhat recent) comment before the definition of
`__cpuidle`, the tag is like `noinstr` but also marks a function so it
can be identified by cpu_in_idle(). Let's add these markings to arm64
cpuidle functions

With this change we get useful backtraces like:

  NMI backtrace for cpu N skipped: idling at cpu_do_idle+0x94/0x98

instead of useless backtraces when dumping all processors using
nmi_cpu_backtrace().

NOTE: this patch won't make cpu_in_idle() work perfectly for arm64,
but it doesn't hurt and does catch some cases. Specifically an example
that wasn't caught in my testing looked like this:

 gic_cpu_sys_reg_init+0x1f8/0x314
 gic_cpu_pm_notifier+0x40/0x78
 raw_notifier_call_chain+0x5c/0x134
 cpu_pm_notify+0x38/0x64
 cpu_pm_exit+0x20/0x2c
 psci_enter_idle_state+0x48/0x70
 cpuidle_enter_state+0xb8/0x260
 cpuidle_enter+0x44/0x5c
 do_idle+0x188/0x30c
