[PATCH v4 0/2] WFE for long delays

[Julien Thierry]

It was pointed out that there are some windows where the event stream might not
be configured, meaning we cannot safely use WFE (e.g. when using PSCI
CPU_SUSPEND for idle, PSCI might reset CPU state).

The first patch provide a function to check whether the task is in state where
it can expect events from the event stream.

Second patch actually makes use of WFE in delays.

Changes since v1:
* Keep track of event stream state
* Do not use WFE when event stream might be misconfigured

Changes since v2:
* Use cpumask to track event stream state instead of percpu variable
* Tidy a bit code in arm64/lib/delay
* Do not factor asm-generic/delay code

Changes since v3:
* Use static initialiser for event stream cpumask
* Remove double negation when checking steam availability
* Use raw_smp_processor_id instead of smp_processor_id
* Fix typo
* Change macro argument to lower case

Cheers,
