[PATCH RFC 2/3] sched: idle: Add a latency parameter to the play_idle function

From: Daniel Lezcano
Date: Wed Nov 13 2019 - 13:54:45 EST


By default the play_idle() function leads to the deepest idle state
selection which is not necessarily the state we are interested in when
forcing the CPU to go to idle.

Add a latency parameter to the play_idle() function, so the caller can
use the constraint to allow a shallower state.
