Aboorva Devarajan 5ddcc03a07 powerpc/cpuidle: Set CPUIDLE_FLAG_POLLING for snooze state
During the comparative study of cpuidle governors, it is noticed that the
menu governor does not select CEDE state in some scenarios even though when
the sleep duration of the CPU exceeds the target residency of the CEDE idle
state this is because the CPU exits the snooze "polling" state when snooze
time limit is reached in the snooze_loop(), which is not a real wake up
and it just means that the polling state selection was not adequate.

cpuidle governors rely on CPUIDLE_FLAG_POLLING flag to be set for the
polling states to handle the condition mentioned above.

Hence, set the CPUIDLE_FLAG_POLLING flag for snooze state (polling state)
in powerpc arch to make the cpuidle governor work as expected.

Reference Commits:

- Timeout enabled for snooze state:
  commit 78eaa10f02
  ("cpuidle: powernv/pseries: Auto-promotion of snooze to deeper idle state")

- commit dc2251bf98
  ("cpuidle: Eliminate the CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol")

- Fix wakeup stats in governor for polling states
  commit 5f26bdceb9
  ("cpuidle: menu: Fix wakeup statistics updates for polling state")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
