Krzysztof Kozlowski f9901f6453 cpuidle: psci: Do not suspend topology CPUs on PREEMPT_RT ...

The runtime Power Management of CPU topology is not compatible with
PREEMPT_RT:

 1. Core cpuidle path disables IRQs.
 2. Core cpuidle calls cpuidle-psci.
 3. cpuidle-psci in __psci_enter_domain_idle_state() calls
    pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend() and pm_runtime_get_sync() which use
    spinlocks (which are sleeping on PREEMPT_RT).

Deep sleep modes are not a priority of Realtime kernels because the
latencies might become unpredictable.  On the other hand the PSCI CPU
idle power domain is a parent of other devices and power domain
controllers, thus it cannot be simply skipped (e.g. on Qualcomm SM8250).

Disable the idle callbacks in cpuidle-psci and mark the domain as
always on.  This is a trade-off between making PREEMPT_RT working and
still having a proper power domain hierarchy in the system.
