Pen-locking is meant to block CPU0 if CPU1 wakes up during of entering into LP2 because of some interrupt firing up, preventing unnecessary LP2 enter that will be resumed immediately. Apparently this case doesn't happen often in practice, I checked how often it takes place and found that after ~20 hours of browsing web, managing email, watching videos and idling (15+ hours) there is only a dozen of early LP2 entering abortions and they all happened while device was idling. Thus let's remove the pen-locking and make LP2 entering uninterruptible, simplifying code quite a lot. This will also become very handy for the upcoming unified cpuidle driver, allowing to have a common LP2 code-path across of different hardware generations.

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.
