The lapic_timer_always_reliable variable really takes only two values and some arithmetic in intel_idle() related to comparing it with the target C-state's MWAIT hint value is unnecessary. Simplify the code by replacing lapic_timer_always_reliable with a bool variable lapic_timer_always_reliable and dropping the LAPIC_TIMER_ALWAYS_RELIABLE symbol along with the excess computations in intel_idle(). While at it, add a comment explaining the branch taken in intel_idle() if the LAPIC timer is only reliable in C1 and modify the related debug message in intel_idle_init() accordingly (the modification of this message in the only expected functional impact of the change made here).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
