sched/idle: Add missing checks to the exit condition of cpu_idle_poll()
cpu_idle_poll() is entered into when either the cpu_idle_force_poll is set or
tick_check_broadcast_expired() returns true. The exit condition from
cpu_idle_poll() is tif_need_resched().
However this does not take into account scenarios where cpu_idle_force_poll
changes or tick_check_broadcast_expired() returns false, without setting
the resched flag. So a cpu will be caught in cpu_idle_poll() needlessly,
thereby wasting power. Add an explicit check on cpu_idle_force_poll and
tick_check_broadcast_expired() to the exit condition of cpu_idle_poll()
to avoid this.
