ACPI, intel_idle: Cleanup idle= internal variables
Having four variables for the same thing: idle_halt, idle_nomwait, force_mwait and boot_option_idle_overrides is rather confusing and unnecessary complex. if idle= boot param is passed, only set up one variable: boot_option_idle_overrides Introduces following functional changes/fixes: - intel_idle driver does not register if any idle=xy boot param is passed. - processor_idle.c will also not register a cpuidle driver and get active if idle=halt is passed. Before a cpuidle driver with one (C1, halt) state got registered Now the default_idle function will be used which finally uses the same idle call to enter sleep state (safe_halt()), but without registering a whole cpuidle driver. That means idle= param will always avoid cpuidle drivers to register with one exception (same behavior as before): idle=nomwait may still register acpi_idle cpuidle driver, but C1 will not use mwait, but hlt. This can be a workaround for IO based deeper sleep states where C1 mwait causes problems.
