Subject: [PATCH 11/13] powerpc/64s: cpuidle no memory barrier after break from idle

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2017 23:05:55 +1000

A memory barrier is not required after the task wakes up,
only if we clear the polling flag before waking. The case
where we have work to do is the important one, so optimise
for it.
