Subject: [PATCH 15/16] rcu/nocb: Prepare for finegrained deferred wakeup

Provide a way to tune the deferred wakeup level we want to perform from
a safe wakeup point. Currently those sites are:

* nocb_timer
* user/idle/guest entry
* CPU down
* softirq/rcuc

All of these sites perform the wake up for both RCU_NOCB_WAKE and
RCU_NOCB_WAKE_FORCE.

In order to merge nocb_timer and nocb_bypass_timer together, we plan to
add a new RCU_NOCB_WAKE_BYPASS that really want to be deferred until
a timer fires so that we don't wake up the NOCB-gp kthread too early.

To prepare for that, integrate a wake up level/limit that a callsite is
deemed to perform.
