[PATCH]sched: cpuidle: Do not fetch current cpu in loop in idle thread

["Gaurav Jindal (Gaurav Jindal)" <Gaurav.Jindal@spreadtrum.com>]

Currently in idle thread loop, smp_processor_id() fetches the cpu id
every time it runs thus taking more cpu cycles.

Instead, save the cpu id as local varaible while entering the idle
thread and use it in the loop. Since it is local variable, it will be
correct for each core. It will also save cycles consumed while fetching cpu
id using smp_proceesor_id() in loop.
