Subject: [PATCH] Fixes: 496d0a648509 ("cpuidle: Fix guest_halt_poll_ns failed to take effect when setting guest_halt_poll_allow_shrink=N")

From: ysay <ysaydong@...il.com>

When guest_halt_poll_allow_shrink=N,setting guest_halt_poll_ns
from a large value to 0 does not reset the CPU polling time,
despite guest_halt_poll_ns being intended as a mandatory maximum
time limit.

The problem was situated in the adjust_poll_limit() within
drivers/cpuidle/governors/haltpoll.c:79.

Specifically, when guest_halt_poll_allow_shrink was set to N,
resetting guest_halt_poll_ns to zero did not lead to executing any
section of code that adjusts dev->poll_limit_ns.

The issue has been resolved by relocating the check and assignment for
dev->poll_limit_ns outside of the conditional block.
This ensures that every modification to guest_halt_poll_ns
properly influences the CPU polling time.
