It's strange that you appear to be using poll_idle(). Maybe it's an error
in the profiler - it sometimes makes mistakes in identifying small
functions.

But if you _are_ using poll_idle() and if your CPU is hyperthreaded then
yes, one "CPU" is going to take a performance hit from the "idle" one.

Is your CPU hyperthreaded? (cat /proc/cpuinfo)

Are you booting with "idle=poll"? Do `dmesg -s 1000000 | grep idle'.
