[PATCH 26/41] x86: Add adaptive tickless hooks on do_notify_resume()

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Before resuming to userspace, we may fall into do_notify_resume()
to handle signals or other things. And because we may be coming
from syscall/exception or interrupt exit, we may be running into
RCU idle mode as we resume tickless to userspace.

However do_notify_resume() may make use of RCU read side critical
sections so we need to exit RCU idle mode before doing anything in
that path.
