Paul E. McKenney 29e37d8141 rcu: Allow nesting of rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit()
Use of RCU in the idle loop is incorrect, quite a few instances of
just that have made their way into mainline, primarily event tracing.
The problem with RCU read-side critical sections on CPUs that RCU believes
to be idle is that RCU is completely ignoring the CPU, along with any
attempts and RCU read-side critical sections.

The approaches of eliminating the offending uses and of pushing the
definition of idle down beyond the offending uses have both proved
impractical.  The new approach is to encapsulate offending uses of RCU
with rcu_idle_exit() and rcu_idle_enter(), but this requires nesting
for code that is invoked both during idle and and during normal execution.
Therefore, this commit modifies rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() to
permit nesting.

* The rest of the bits could in principle be used to count interrupts,

* We therefore provide a two-bit guard field defined by DYNTICK_TASK_MASK
* that is set to DYNTICK_TASK_FLAG upon initial exit from idle.
* The DYNTICK_TASK_EXIT_IDLE value is thus the combined value used upon
* initial exit from idle.
