intel_idle: delete power_policy modparam, and choose substate functions
The idea behind power policy was that it would start off as a modparam, and then hook into the new "global" in-kernel power vs energy tunable. But that tunable isn't happening, so delete the hook here. With the policy hook gone, the sub-state choice functions do not do anything useful, so delete them from the critical path. To handle sub-states in the future, we will advertise them with dedicated cpuidle_state entries. That is necessary because some of the sub-states will have substantially different properties than their peer sub-states. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
