Rafael J. Wysocki a37b969a61 cpuidle: poll_state: Add time limit to poll_idle()
If poll_idle() is allowed to spin until need_resched() returns 'true',
it may actually spin for a much longer time than expected by the idle
governor, since set_tsk_need_resched() is not always called by the
timer interrupt handler.  If that happens, the CPU may spend much
more time than anticipated in the "polling" state.

To prevent that from happening, limit the time of the spinning loop
in poll_idle().
