poll_idle() can't be called while the tick is stopped because it enables
interrupts and only polls on TIF_NEED_RESCHED, which doesn't tell if an
interrupt queues a timer that would require a tick re-programming.

There is no point anyway to poll with the tick stopped so add a check
to make sure it never happens.

I'd rather update governors so they never use polling states when the
tick has been stopped and then add the WARN_ON().

Sounds good, let's put this one aside.

In the meantime feel free to pick up those you acked and see fit in your
queue.

Thanks!
