[PATCH] arm64: suspend: Only track cpuidle context for idle tasks

["syzbot" <syzbot@kernel.org>]

From: Uladzislau Zhauniarovich <uladzislau.zhauniarovich@gmail.com>

Commit 19235e472798 ("cpuidle, arm64: Fix the ARM64 cpuidle logic") moved
the calls to ct_cpuidle_enter() and ct_cpuidle_exit() into cpu_suspend() so
that arm64 cpuidle could keep RCU watching longer and manage context
tracking internally. However, cpu_suspend() is called not only by cpuidle
via psci_cpu_suspend_enter() (which runs in the context of the idle task),
but also during system suspend via psci_system_suspend_enter() (which runs
in the context of the task initiating suspend, such as a process writing to
/sys/power/state).

When entering system suspend, current is a non-idle task. Calling
ct_cpuidle_enter() invokes ct_kernel_exit() from kernel space (!user) on a
non-idle task. With CONFIG_RCU_EQS_DEBUG enabled, this violates context
tracking invariants and triggers a warning:

A corresponding warning is subsequently triggered in ct_kernel_enter() via
ct_cpuidle_exit() upon resume.

Fix this by checking is_idle_task(current) in cpu_suspend() and only
invoking ct_cpuidle_enter() and ct_cpuidle_exit() when executing in the
context of an idle task.
