sched: idle: Optimize the generic idle loop by removing needless memory barrier
The memory barrier rmb() in generic idle loop do_idle() function is not needed, it doesn't order any load instruction, just remove it as needless rmb() can cause performance impact. The rmb() was introduced by the tglx/history.git commit f2f1b44c75c4 ("[PATCH] Remove RCU abuse in cpu_idle()") to order the loads between cpu_idle_map and pm_idle. It pairs with wmb() in function cpu_idle_wait(). And then with the removal of cpu_idle_state in function cpu_idle() and wmb() in function cpu_idle_wait() in commit 783e391b7b5b ("x86: Simplify cpu_idle_wait"), rmb() no longer has a reason to exist. After that, commit d16699123434 ("idle: Implement generic idle function") implemented a generic idle function cpu_idle_loop() which resembles the functionality found in arch/. And it retained the rmb() in generic idle loop in file kernel/cpu/idle.c. And at last, commit cf37b6b48428 ("sched/idle: Move cpu/idle.c to sched/idle.c") moved cpu/idle.c to sched/idle.c. And commit c1de45ca831a ("sched/idle: Add support for tasks that inject idle") renamed function cpu_idle_loop() to do_idle().
