Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 09/12] rcu: Force nohz_full tick on upon irq enter instead of exit

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.ibm.com>

There is interrupt-exit code that forces on the tick for nohz_full CPUs
failing to respond to the current grace period in a timely fashion.
However, this code must compare ->dynticks_nmi_nesting to the value 2
in the interrupt-exit fastpath.  This commit therefore moves this code
to the interrupt-entry fastpath, where a lighter-weight comparison to
zero may be used.

Reported-by: Joel Fernandes <joel@...lfernandes.org>
[ paulmck: Apply Joel Fernandes TICK_DEP_MASK_RCU->TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU fix. ]
