Thanks for your remind. There is a reason I don't use a boolean flag
here. The SGI register was per CPU register. Different CPU may get
different content of the register depend on there is a SGI pending or
not. That's why I don't use a boolean flag that may be overwritten by
the other CPU here.

So I think I can just modify as follows and remove atomic operation.

	if (tegra_pending_sgi())
		abort_flag++;

	if (abort_flag > 0)
		abort coupled cpuidle;

Fair enough to me.
