[PATCH] Fix idle notifiers

Previously exit_idle would be called more often than enter_idle

Now instead of using complicated tests just keep track of it
using the per CPU variable as a flip flop.  I moved the idle state into the
PDA to make the access more efficient.

Original bug report and an initial patch from Stephane Eranian,
but redone by AK.
