Subject[PATCH 22/24] nohz: Don't turn off the tick if rcu needs it
Date
If RCU is waiting for the current CPU to complete a grace
period, don't turn off the tick. Unlike dynctik-idle, we
are not necessarily going to enter into rcu extended quiescent
state, so we may need to keep the tick to note current CPU's
quiescent states.

[added build fix from Zen Lin]

CHECKME: OTOH we don't want to handle a locally started
grace period, this should be offloaded for rcu_nocb CPUs.
What we want is to be kicked if we stay dynticks in the kernel
for too long (ie: to report a quiescent state).
rcu_pending() is perhaps an overkill just for that.
