Subject: [RFC PATCH 6/8] sched: Report local wake up on resched blind zone within idle loop

The idle loop has several need_resched() checks that make sure we don't
miss a rescheduling request. This means that any wake up performed on
the local runqueue after the last generic need_resched() check is going
to have its rescheduling silently ignored. This has happened in the
past with rcu kthreads awaken from rcu_idle_enter() for example.

Perform sanity checks to report these situations.
