timers: implement usleep_idle_range()
commit e477901 upstream. Patch series "mm/damon: Fix fake /proc/loadavg reports", v3. This patchset fixes DAMON's fake load report issue. The first patch makes yet another variant of usleep_range() for this fix, and the second patch fixes the issue of DAMON by making it using the newly introduced function. This patch (of 2): Some kernel threads such as DAMON could need to repeatedly sleep in micro seconds level. Because usleep_range() sleeps in uninterruptible state, however, such threads would make /proc/loadavg reports fake load. To help such cases, this commit implements a variant of usleep_range() called usleep_idle_range(). It is same to usleep_range() but sets the state of the current task as TASK_IDLE while sleeping.
