powerpc/cpuidle: Set CPUIDLE_FLAG_POLLING for snooze state
During the comparative study of cpuidle governors, it is noticed that the menu governor does not select CEDE state in some scenarios even though when the sleep duration of the CPU exceeds the target residency of the CEDE idle state this is because the CPU exits the snooze "polling" state when snooze time limit is reached in the snooze_loop(), which is not a real wake up and it just means that the polling state selection was not adequate. cpuidle governors rely on CPUIDLE_FLAG_POLLING flag to be set for the polling states to handle the condition mentioned above. Hence, set the CPUIDLE_FLAG_POLLING flag for snooze state (polling state) in powerpc arch to make the cpuidle governor work as expected.
