Deepthi Dharwar 3fa8cad82b powerpc/pseries/cpuidle: smt-snooze-delay cleanup.
smt-snooze-delay was designed to disable NAP state or delay the entry
to the NAP state prior to adoption of cpuidle framework. This
is per-cpu variable. With the coming of CPUIDLE framework,
states can be disabled on per-cpu basis using the cpuidle/enable
sysfs entry.

Also, with the coming of cpuidle driver each state's target residency
is per-driver unlike earlier which was per-device. Therefore,
the per-cpu sysfs smt-snooze-delay which decides the target residency
of the idle state on a particular cpu causes more confusion to the user
as we cannot have different smt-snooze-delay (target residency)
values for each cpu.

In the current code, smt-snooze-delay functionality is completely broken.
It makes sense to remove smt-snooze-delay from idle driver with the
coming of cpuidle framework.
However, sysfs files are retained as ppc64_util currently
utilises it. Once we fix ppc64_util, propose to clean
up the kernel code.
