LoongArch: Put the body of play_dead() into arch_cpu_idle_dead()



The initial aim is to silence the following objtool warning:

arch/loongarch/kernel/process.o: warning: objtool: arch_cpu_idle_dead() falls through to next function start_thread()

According to tools/objtool/Documentation/objtool.txt, this is because
the last instruction of arch_cpu_idle_dead() is a call to a noreturn
function play_dead(). In order to silence the warning, one simple way
is to add the noreturn function play_dead() to objtool's hard-coded
global_noreturns array, that is to say, just put "NORETURN(play_dead)"
into tools/objtool/noreturns.h, it works well.

But I noticed that play_dead() is only defined once and only called by
arch_cpu_idle_dead(), so put the body of play_dead() into the caller
arch_cpu_idle_dead(), then remove the noreturn function play_dead() is
an alternative way which can reduce the overhead of the function call
at the same time.
