Subject: [patch 04/13] Make sure enabled wait psw is loaded in default_idle.

From: Heiko Carstens <[email protected]>

If both NO_IDLE_HZ and VIRT_TIMER are disabled default_idle won't load
an enabled wait psw and busy loop instead. This is because the
idle_chain is empty and the return value of atomic_notifier_call_chain
will be NOTIFY_DONE, which causes default_idle to return instead of
loading an enabled wait psw.
Fix this by calling __atomic_notifier_call_chain instead and add proper
return value handling.
