Subject: avr32: fix clockevents kernel warning
From: Gabor Juhos <juhosg@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1b0135b5e20c56b2edae29e92b91c0b12c983432 upstream.
Since commit 01426478df3a8791ff5c8b6b82d409e699cfaf38
(avr32: Use generic idle loop) the kernel throws the
following warning on avr32:

When the 'avr32_comparator' clockevent device is registered,
the clockevent core sets the mode of that clockevent device
to CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN. Due to this, the 'comparator_mode'
function calls the 'cpu_idle_poll_ctrl' to disables idle poll.
This results in the aforementioned warning because the polling
is not enabled yet.
Change the code to only disable idle poll if it is enabled by
the same function to avoid the warning.
