Subject: [PATCH 20/24] nohz: Full dynticks mode

When a CPU is in full dynticks mode, try to switch
it to nohz mode from the interrupt exit path if it is
running a single non-idle task.

Then restart the tick if necessary if we are enqueuing a
second task while the timer is stopped, so that the scheduler
tick is rearmed.

[TODO: Check remaining things to be done from scheduler_tick()]

[ Included build fix from Geoff Levand ]
