rcu: Make kernel-mode nohz_full CPUs invoke the RCU core processing
If a nohz_full CPU is idle or executing in userspace, it makes good sense to keep it out of RCU core processing. After all, the RCU grace-period kthread can see its quiescent states and all of its callbacks are offloaded, so there is nothing for RCU core processing to do. However, if a nohz_full CPU is executing in kernel space, the RCU grace-period kthread cannot do anything for it, so such a CPU must report its own quiescent states. This commit therefore makes nohz_full CPUs skip RCU core processing only if the scheduler-clock interrupt caught them in idle or in userspace. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
