PM: s2idle: Clear _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG before suspend to idle
Suspend to idle was found to not work on Goldmont CPU recently. The issue happens due to: 1. On Goldmont the CPU in idle can only be woken up via IPIs, not POLLING mode, due to commit 08e237fa56a1 ("x86/cpu: Add workaround for MONITOR instruction erratum on Goldmont based CPUs") 2. When the CPU is entering suspend to idle process, the _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG remains on, because cpuidle_enter_s2idle() doesn't match call_cpuidle() exactly. 3. Commit b2a02fc43a1f ("smp: Optimize send_call_function_single_ipi()") makes use of _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG to avoid sending IPIs to idle CPUs. 4. As a result, some IPIs related functions might not work well during suspend to idle on Goldmont. For example, one suspected victim: tick_unfreeze() -> timekeeping_resume() -> hrtimers_resume() -> clock_was_set() -> on_each_cpu() might wait forever, because the IPIs will not be sent to the CPUs which are sleeping with _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG set, and Goldmont CPU could not be woken up by only setting _TIF_NEED_RESCHED on the monitor address. To avoid that, clear the _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG flag before invoking enter_s2idle_proper() in cpuidle_enter_s2idle() in analogy with the call_cpuidle() code flow.
