[PATCH 11/13] powerpc/64s: cpuidle no memory barrier after break from idle

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>
Date: 2017-06-13 13:06:49
Subsystem: cpu idle time management framework, the rest · Maintainers: "Rafael J. Wysocki", Daniel Lezcano, Linus Torvalds

A memory barrier is not required after the task wakes up,
only if we clear the polling flag before waking. The case
where we have work to do is the important one, so optimise
for it.
