rcu/nocb: Perform deferred wake up before last idle's need_resched() check
Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP kthread (rcuog) to be serviced. Usually a local wake up happening while running the idle task is handled in one of the need_resched() checks carefully placed within the idle loop that can break to the scheduler. Unfortunately the call to rcu_idle_enter() is already beyond the last generic need_resched() check and we may halt the CPU with a resched request unhandled, leaving the task hanging. Fix this with splitting the rcuog wakeup handling from rcu_idle_enter() and place it before the last generic need_resched() check in the idle loop. It is then assumed that no call to call_rcu() will be performed after that in the idle loop until the CPU is put in low power mode. Fixes: 96d3fd0d315a (rcu: Break call_rcu() deadlock involving scheduler and perf) Reported-by: Paul E.
