Paul E. McKenney c57afe80db rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ account for pauses out of idle
Both Steven Rostedt's new idle-capable trace macros and the RCU_NONIDLE()
macro can cause RCU to momentarily pause out of idle without the rest
of the system being involved.  This can cause rcu_prepare_for_idle()
to run through its state machine too quickly, which can in turn result
in needless scheduling-clock interrupts.

This commit therefore adds code to enable rcu_prepare_for_idle() to
distinguish between an initial entry to idle on the one hand (which needs
to advance the rcu_prepare_for_idle() state machine) and an idle reentry
due to idle-capable trace macros and RCU_NONIDLE() on the other hand
(which should avoid advancing the rcu_prepare_for_idle() state machine).
Additional state is maintained to allow the timer to be correctly reposted
when returning after a momentary pause out of idle, and even more state
is maintained to detect when new non-lazy callbacks have been enqueued
(which may require re-evaluation of the approach to idleness).
