Subject: [PATCH 40/41] nohz: Exit RCU idle mode when we schedule before resuming userspace
When a CPU running tickless resumes userspace, it enters into
RCU idle mode. But if we are preempted on kernel exit, after we
entered RCU idle mode but before we actually resumed userspace,
through an explicit call to schedule, we need to re-enable RCU in
case this function makes use of RCU read side critical section
and also for the next task to be scheduled.
NOTE: If we are preempted while running adaptive tickless, it means
we will receive an IPI that will escape the RCU idle mode for us. So
this patch is useful only when such IPI arrives too late.
