Seems like I was overlooking something here, you are right, this
shouldn't really be a problem.

Right, I was thinking that it could make sense to shrink the window
for users getting this wrong. In other words, we shouldn't set the
CPUIDLE_FLAG_RCU_IDLE unless we really need to.
And as I said, consistent behaviour is also nice to have.

Yes, it does!
Although, one minor comment below.

Nitpick: I don't think we need to explicitly clear the flag, as it
should already be zeroed by the compiler from its static declaration.
Right?
