[PATCH] cpuidle: powerpc: avoid double clear when breaking snooze

snooze_loop is done often in any system which has fair bit of
idle time. So it qualifies for even micro-optimizations.
When breaking the snooze due to timeout, TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is cleared
twice. Clearing the bit invokes atomics. Avoid double clear and thereby
avoid one atomic write.
dev->poll_time_limit indicates whether the loop was broken due to
timeout. Use that instead of defining a new variable.
