Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 07/26] rcu: Grace-period-kthread related sleeps to idle priority

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...nel.org>

This commit converts the long-standing schedule_timeout_interruptible()
and schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() calls used by RCU's grace-period
kthread to schedule_timeout_idle().  This conversion avoids polluting
the load-average with RCU-related sleeping.
