rcu: Avoid needlessly IPIing CPUs at GP end
If a CPU enters dyntick-idle mode with callbacks pending, it will need an IPI at the end of the grace period. However, if it exits dyntick-idle mode before the grace period ends, it will be needlessly IPIed at the end of the grace period. Therefore, this commit clears the per-CPU rcu_awake_at_gp_end flag when a CPU determines that it does not need it. This in turn requires disabling interrupts across much of rcu_prepare_for_idle() in order to avoid having nested interrupts clearing this state out from under us. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
