Subject: [PATCH 14/32] nohz/cpuset: Don't turn off the tick if rcu needs it

If RCU is waiting for the current CPU to complete a grace
period, don't turn off the tick. Unlike dynctik-idle, we
are not necessarily going to enter into rcu extended quiescent
state, so we may need to keep the tick to note current CPU's
quiescent states.
