rcu: Eliminate RCU_FAST_NO_HZ grace-period hang
With the new implementation of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, it was possible to hang RCU grace periods as follows: o CPU 0 attempts to go idle, cycles several times through the rcu_prepare_for_idle() loop, then goes dyntick-idle when RCU needs nothing more from it, while still having at least on RCU callback pending. o CPU 1 goes idle with no callbacks. Both CPUs can then stay in dyntick-idle mode indefinitely, preventing the RCU grace period from ever completing, possibly hanging the system. This commit therefore prevents CPUs that have RCU callbacks from entering dyntick-idle mode. This approach also eliminates the need for the end-of-grace-period IPIs used previously.
