x86/idle: Fix buggy "x86/mwait-idle: enable interrupts before C1 on Xeons"

The check of this_softirq_pending must be performed with irqs disabled, but
this property was broken by an attempt to optimise entry/exit latency.

Commit c227233ad64c in Linux (which we copied into Xen) was fixed up by
edc8fc01f608 in Linux, which we have so far missed.

Going to sleep without waking on interrupts is nonsensical outside of
play_dead(), so overload this to select between two possible MWAITs, the
second using the STI shadow to cover MWAIT for exactly the same reason as we
do in safe_halt().
