cpuidle: always return with interrupts enabled
In the case where cpuidle_idle_call() returns before changing state due to a need_resched(), it was returning with IRQs disabled. The idle path assumes that the platform specific idle code returns with interrupts enabled (although this too is undocumented AFAICT) and on ARM we have a WARN_ON(!(irqs_disabled()) when returning from the idle loop, so the user-visible effects were only a warning since interrupts were eventually re-enabled later. On x86, this same problem exists, but there is no WARN_ON() to detect it. As on ARM, the interrupts are eventually re-enabled, so I'm not sure of any actual bugs triggered by this. It's primarily a correctness/consistency fix. This patch ensures IRQs are (re)enabled before returning.
