Power management fixes for v4.7-rc7

Browse source 
- Fix a recent performance regression on Power systems (powernv
    and pseries) introduced by a core cpuidle commit that decreased
    the precision of the last_residency conversion from nano- to
    microseconds, which should not matter in theory, but turned out
    to play not-so-well with the special "snooze" idle state on Power
    (Shreyas B Prabhu).
 
  - Fix a crash during resume from hibernation on x86-64 caused by
    possible corruption of the kernel text part of page tables in the
    last phase of image restoration exposed by a security-related
    change during the 4.3 development cycle (Rafael Wysocki).

Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "One fix for a recent cpuidle core change that, against all odds,
  introduced a functional regression on Power systems and the fix for
  the crash during resume from hibernation on x86-64 that has been in
  the works for the last few weeks (it actually was ready last week, but
  I wanted to allow the reporters to test if for some more time).

  Specifics:

   - Fix a recent performance regression on Power systems (powernv and
     pseries) introduced by a core cpuidle commit that decreased the
     precision of the last_residency conversion from nano- to
     microseconds, which should not matter in theory, but turned out to
     play not-so-well with the special "snooze" idle state on Power
     (Shreyas B Prabhu).

   - Fix a crash during resume from hibernation on x86-64 caused by
     possible corruption of the kernel text part of page tables in the
     last phase of image restoration exposed by a security-related
     change during the 4.3 development cycle (Rafael Wysocki)"
