cpuidle/x86/perf: fix power:cpu_idle double end events and throw cpu_idle events from the cpuidle layer
Currently intel_idle and acpi_idle driver show double cpu_idle "exit idle"
events -> this patch fixes it and makes cpu_idle events throwing less complex.

It also introduces cpu_idle events for all architectures which use
the cpuidle subsystem, namely:
  - arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c
  - arch/arm/mach-davinci/cpuidle.c
  - arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/cpuidle.c
  - arch/arm/mach-omap2/cpuidle34xx.c
  - arch/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c (for all cases, not only mwait)
  - arch/x86/kernel/process.c (did throw events before, but was a mess)
  - drivers/idle/intel_idle.c (did throw events before)

Convention should be:
Fire cpu_idle events inside the current pm_idle function (not somewhere
down the the callee tree) to keep things easy.

Current possible pm_idle functions in X86:
c1e_idle, poll_idle, cpuidle_idle_call, mwait_idle, default_idle
-> this is really easy is now.

This affects userspace:
The type field of the cpu_idle power event can now direclty get
mapped to:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle/stateX/{name,desc,usage,time,...}
instead of throwing very CPU/mwait specific values.
This change is not visible for the intel_idle driver.
For the acpi_idle driver it should only be visible if the vendor
misses out C-states in his BIOS.
Another (perf timechart) patch reads out cpuidle info of cpu_idle
events from:
/sys/.../cpuidle/stateX/*, then the cpuidle events are mapped
to the correct C-/cpuidle state again, even if e.g. vendors miss
out C-states in their BIOS and for example only export C1 and C3.
-> everything is fine.
