sched/idle: Micro-optimize the idle loop
Move the loop-invariant calculation of 'cpu' in do_idle() out of the loop body,
because the current CPU is always constant.
This improves the generated code both on x86-64 and ARM64:
x86-64:
Before patch (execution in loop):
864: 0f ae e8 lfence
867: 65 8b 05 c2 38 f1 7e mov %gs:0x7ef138c2(%rip),%eax
86e: 89 c0 mov %eax,%eax
870: 48 0f a3 05 68 19 08 bt %rax,0x1081968(%rip)
877: 01
After patch (execution in loop):
872: 0f ae e8 lfence
875: 4c 0f a3 25 63 19 08 bt %r12,0x1081963(%rip)
87c: 01
ARM64:
