cpuidle: Fix panic in CPU off-lining with no idle driver
Fix a NULL pointer dereference panic in cpuidle_play_dead() during
CPU off-lining when no cpuidle driver is registered. A cpuidle
driver may be registered at boot-time based on CPU type. This patch
allows an off-lined CPU to enter HLT-based idle in this condition.
