x86/idle: Cleanup idle_setup()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Updating the static call for x86_idle() from idle_setup() is
counter-intuitive.

Let select_idle_routine() handle it like the other idle choices, which
allows to simplify the idle selection later on.

While at it rewrite comments and return a proper error code and not -1.
