powerpc: powernv: Fix KCSAN datarace warnings on idle_state contention

The idle_state entry in the PACA on PowerNV features a bit which is
atomically tested and set through ldarx/stdcx. to be used as a spinlock.
This lock then guards access to other bit fields of idle_state. KCSAN
cannot differentiate between any of these bitfield accesses as they all
are implemented by 8-byte store/load instructions, thus cores contending
on the bit-lock appear to data race with modifications to idle_state.

Separate the bit-lock entry from the data guarded by the lock to avoid
the possibility of data races being detected by KCSAN.
