rcu: Add warning for RCU_FAST_NO_HZ timer firing
RCU_FAST_NO_HZ uses a timer to limit the time that a CPU with callbacks
can remain in dyntick-idle mode. This timer is cancelled when the CPU
exits idle, and therefore should never fire. However, if the timer
were migrated to some other CPU for whatever reason (1) the timer could
actually fire and (2) firing on some other CPU would fail to wake up the
CPU with callbacks, possibly resulting in sluggishness or a system hang.
This commit therfore adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to the timer handler in order
to detect this condition.
