When a user loads cpuidle-haltpoll on a non KVM guest the module will successfully load, even though idle driver registration didn't take place. We should instead return -ENODEV signaling the user that the driver can't be loaded, like other error paths in haltpoll_init(). An example of such error paths is when we return -EBUSY when attempting to register an idle driver when it had one already (e.g. intel_idle loads at boot and then we attempt to insert module cpuidle-haltpoll).
