    x86: Fix CPUIDLE_FLAG_IRQ_ENABLE leaking timer reprogram
    
    [ Upstream commit edc8fc01f608108b0b7580cb2c29dfb5135e5f0e ]
    
    intel_idle_irq() re-enables IRQs very early. As a result, an interrupt
    may fire before mwait() is eventually called. If such an interrupt queues
    a timer, it may go unnoticed until mwait returns and the idle loop
    handles the tick re-evaluation. And monitoring TIF_NEED_RESCHED doesn't
    help because a local timer enqueue doesn't set that flag.
    
    The issue is mitigated by the fact that this idle handler is only invoked
    for shallow C-states when, presumably, the next tick is supposed to be
    close enough. There may still be rare cases though when the next tick
    is far away and the selected C-state is shallow, resulting in a timer
    getting ignored for a while.
    
    Fix this with using sti_mwait() whose IRQ-reenablement only triggers
    upon calling mwait(), dealing with the race while keeping the interrupt
    latency within acceptable bounds.
