[PATCH v2 2/5] powerpc/idle: Add accessor function to always read latest idle PURR

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Currently when CPU goes idle, we take a snapshot of PURR via
idle_loop_prolog() which is used at the CPU idle exit to compute the
idle PURR cycles via the function idle_loop_epilog().  Thus, the value
of idle PURR cycle thus read before idle_loop_prolog() and after
idle_loop_epilog() is always correct.

However, if we were to read the idle PURR cycles from an interrupt
context between idle_loop_prolog() and idle_loop_epilog() (this will
be done in a future patch), then, the value of the idle PURR thus read
will not include the cycles spent in the most recent idle period.

This patch addresses the issue by providing accessor function to read
the idle PURR such such that it includes the cycles spent in the most
recent idle period, if we read it between idle_loop_prolog() and
idle_loop_epilog(). In order to achieve it, the patch saves the
snapshot of PURR in idle_loop_prolog() in a per-cpu variable, instead
of on the stack, so that it can be accessed from an interrupt context.
