Pallipadi, Venkatesh d306ebc286 ACPI: Be in TS_POLLING state during mwait based C-state entry
ACPI deep C-state entry had a long standing bug/missing feature, wherein we were sending
resched IPIs when an idle CPU is in mwait based deep C-state. Only mwait based C1 was using
the write to the monitored address to wake up mwait'ing CPU.

This patch changes the code to retain TS_POLLING bit if we are entering an mwait based
deep C-state.

The patch has been verified to reduce the number of resched IPIs in general and also
improves the performance/power on workloads with low system utilization (i.e., when mwait based
deep C-states are being used).

Fixes "netperf ~50% regression with 2.6.33-rc1, bisect to 1b9508f"
