rcu: Detect illegal rcu dereference in extended quiescent state

Report that none of the rcu read lock maps are held while in an RCU
extended quiescent state (the section between rcu_idle_enter()
and rcu_idle_exit()). This helps detect any use of rcu_dereference()
and friends from within the section in idle where RCU is not allowed.

This way we can guarantee an extended quiescent window where the CPU
can be put in dyntick idle mode or can simply aoid to be part of any
global grace period completion while in the idle loop.

Uses of RCU from such mode are totally ignored by RCU, hence the
importance of these checks.

* Note that if the CPU is in the idle loop from an RCU point of
* view (ie: that we are in the section between rcu_idle_enter() and
* rcu_idle_exit()) then rcu_read_lock_held() returns false even if the CPU
* did an rcu_read_lock(). The reason for this is that RCU ignores CPUs
* that are in such a section, considering these as in extended quiescent
* state, so such a CPU is effectively never in an RCU read-side critical
* section regardless of what RCU primitives it invokes. This state of
* affairs is required --- we need to keep an RCU-free window in idle
* where the CPU may possibly enter into low power mode. This way we can
* notice an extended quiescent state to other CPUs that started a grace
* period. Otherwise we would delay any grace period as long as we run in
* the idle task.
