Calculate the halt-polling "stop" time using "cur" instead of redoing
ktime_get(). In the happy case where hardware correctly predicts
do_halt_poll, "cur" is only a few cycles old. And if the branch is
mispredicted, arguably that extra latency should count toward the
halt-polling time.
In all likelihood, the numbers involved are in the noise and either
approach is perfectly ok.
