[PATCH 4/4] x86: Remove the current_clr_polling() call upon mwait exit

[Frederic Weisbecker]

mwait_idle_with_hints() is mostly called from cpuidle which already sets
back TIF_NR_POLLING and fold TIF_NEED_RESCHED if necessary.

The only non-cpuidle caller is power_saving_thread() which acts as an idle
loop and is the only reason why mwait_idle_with_hints() carries a costly
fully ordered atomic operation upon idle exit.

Make this overhead proper to power_saving_thread() instead which already
duplicates quite some cpuidle code.
