Subject: [PATCH 00/21] rcu/context-tracking: Merge RCU eqs-dynticks counter to context tracking v2
This mixes up the RCU dynticks counter and the context tracking state
updates into a single atomic instruction. This may serve several
purposes:
1) Improve CPU isolation with deferring some disturbances until sensitive
userspace workload completes and goes to the kernel. This can take
several forms, for example smp_call_function_housekeeping() or
on_each_housekeeping_cpu() to enqueue and execute work on all
housekeeping CPUs. Then an atomic operation on ct->state can defer
the work on nohz_full CPUs until they run in kernel (or IPI them
if they are in kernel mode), see this proposal by Peter:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210929151723.162004989@infradead.org/#r
2) Unearth sysidle (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git/commit/?h=sysidle.2017.05.11a&id=fe5ac724d81a3c7803e60c2232718f212f3f38d4)
This feature allowed to shutdown the tick on the last housekeeping
CPU once the rest of the system is fully idle. We needed some proper
fully ordered context tracking for that.
Inspired by Peterz: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210929151723.162004989@infradead.org
Passed 100 hours of TREE01.

Changes since v1 after Paul, Nicolas and Peter's reviews:
* Rebased against latest rcu:dev
* Remove context_tracking_in_user()
* Tag rcu_idle_enter() as noinstr
* Add comments to explain why some RCU and context tracking functions can not
be tagged as noinstr yet even though they should
* Add Acks from Paul
* Rename context_tracking_cpu_set() to ct_cpu_track_user()
* Some changelogs fixed
* Fix missing renames in cpuidle
* Add missing header comments for ct_irq_*()
* Add accessors for ->dynticks_nesting and ->dynticks_nmi_nesting
* Fix ->dynticks_nesting[_nmi] that were printed from the local ct
instead of the remote one
* Only build rcu_irq_exit_check_preempt() when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y
* Remove static from rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() for all configs
* CONTEXT_* values now count from 0 to 4 instead of using bit flags,
since all these states are mutually exclusive anyway.
Therefore RCU_DYNTICKS_IDX now starts at 4 instead of 8.
* Keep the lowest bits of rcu_dynticks_snap() and expand a bit the
printing size accordingly.
