Subject: [PATCH rcu 1/3] rcu/exp: Fix check for idle context in rcu_exp_handler

From: Neeraj Upadhyay <quic_neeraju@...cinc.com>

For PREEMPT_RCU, the rcu_exp_handler() function checks
whether the current CPU is in idle, by calling
rcu_dynticks_curr_cpu_in_eqs(). However, rcu_exp_handler()
is called in IPI handler context. So, it should be checking
the idle context using rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle(). Fix this
by using rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle() instead of
rcu_dynticks_curr_cpu_in_eqs(). Non-preempt configuration
already uses the correct check.
