[PATCH] x86: Make mwait_usable() respect "idle=nomwait" kernel parameter

["Srivatsa S. Bhat" <srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

mwait_usable() returns 1 even if the "idle=nomwait" kernel parameter is passed.
Fix it by adding a check for boot_option_idle_override == IDLE_NOMWAIT and
returning 0 if it is set.

Before applying the patch (dmesg snippet):
[    0.000000] Command line: [...] idle=nomwait
[    0.000000] Kernel command line: [...] idle=nomwait
[    0.000000]  RCU dyntick-idle grace-period acceleration is enabled.
[    0.140606] using mwait in idle threads.         <======= mwait being used
[    4.303986] cpuidle: using governor ladder
[    4.308232] cpuidle: using governor menu

After applying the patch:
[    0.000000] Command line: [...] idle=nomwait
[    0.000000] Kernel command line: [...] idle=nomwait
[    0.000000]  RCU dyntick-idle grace-period acceleration is enabled.
[    4.264100] cpuidle: using governor ladder
[    4.268342] cpuidle: using governor menu
