[PATCH 2/2] cpuidle: coupled: fix decrementing ready count

cpuidle_coupled_set_not_ready sometimes refuses to decrement the
ready count in order to prevent a race condition.  This makes it
unsuitable for use when finished with idle.  Add a new function
cpuidle_coupled_set_done that decrements both the ready count and
waiting count, and call it after idle is complete.
