cpuidle: coupled: add parallel barrier function

Adds cpuidle_coupled_parallel_barrier, which can be used by coupled
cpuidle state enter functions to handle resynchronization after
determining if any cpu needs to abort.  The normal use case will
be:

static bool abort_flag;
static atomic_t abort_barrier;

int arch_cpuidle_enter(struct cpuidle_device *dev, ...)
{
	if (arch_turn_off_irq_controller()) {
	   	/* returns an error if an irq is pending and would be lost
		   if idle continued and turned off power */
		abort_flag = true;
	}

	cpuidle_coupled_parallel_barrier(dev, &abort_barrier);

	if (abort_flag) {
	   	/* One of the cpus didn't turn off it's irq controller */
	   	arch_turn_on_irq_controller();
		return -EINTR;
	}

	/* continue with idle */
	...
}

This will cause all cpus to abort idle together if one of them needs
to abort.
