Rafael J. Wysocki 148519120c Revert "cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for repeat mode" 
Revert commit 69a37bea (cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for
repeat mode), because it has been identified as the source of a
significant performance regression in v3.8 and later as explained by
Jeremy Eder:

  We believe we've identified a particular commit to the cpuidle code
  that seems to be impacting performance of variety of workloads.
  The simplest way to reproduce is using netperf TCP_RR test, so
  we're using that, on a pair of Sandy Bridge based servers.  We also
  have data from a large database setup where performance is also
  measurably/positively impacted, though that test data isn't easily
  share-able.

  Included below are test results from 3 test kernels:

  kernel       reverts
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  1) vanilla   upstream (no reverts)

  2) perfteam2 reverts e11538d1f0

  3) test      reverts 69a37beabf
                       e11538d1f0

  In summary, netperf TCP_RR numbers improve by approximately 4%
  after reverting 69a37beabf.  When
  69a37beabf is included, C0 residency
  never seems to get above 40%.  Taking that patch out gets C0 near
  100% quite often, and performance increases.

  The below data are histograms representing the %c0 residency @
  1-second sample rates (using turbostat), while under netperf test.

  - If you look at the first 4 histograms, you can see %c0 residency
    almost entirely in the 30,40% bin.
  - The last pair, which reverts 69a37beabf,
    shows %c0 in the 80,90,100% bins.

  Below each kernel name are netperf TCP_RR trans/s numbers for the
  particular kernel that can be disclosed publicly, comparing the 3
  test kernels.  We ran a 4th test with the vanilla kernel where
  we've also set /dev/cpu_dma_latency=0 to show overall impact
  boosting single-threaded TCP_RR performance over 11% above
  baseline.

  3.10-rc2 vanilla RX + c0 lock (/dev/cpu_dma_latency=0):
  TCP_RR trans/s 54323.78

  -----------------------------------------------------------
  3.10-rc2 vanilla RX (no reverts)
  TCP_RR trans/s 48192.47

  These results demonstrate gaining back the tendency of the CPU to
  stay in more responsive, performant C-states (and thus yield
  measurably better performance), by reverting commit
  69a37beabf.
