cpuidle-haltpoll: Replace default_idle() with arch_cpu_idle()
When a KVM guest has MWAIT, mwait_idle() is used as the default idle
function.
However, the cpuidle-haltpoll driver calls default_idle() from
default_enter_idle() directly and that one uses HLT instead of MWAIT,
which may affect performance adversely, because MWAIT is preferred to
HLT as explained by the changelog of commit aebef63cf7ff ("x86: Remove
vendor checks from prefer_mwait_c1_over_halt").
Make default_enter_idle() call arch_cpu_idle(), which can use MWAIT,
instead of default_idle() to address this issue.
