Subject[PATCH 03/10] perf: New helper to prevent full dynticks CPUs from stopping tick
Date
Provide a new helper that help full dynticks CPUs to prevent
from stopping their tick in case there are events in the local
rotation list.

This way we make sure that perf_event_task_tick() is serviced
on demand.
