rcu: avoid pointless blocked-task warnings
If the RCU callback-processing kthread has nothing to do, it parks in a wait_event(). If RCU remains idle for more than two minutes, the kernel complains about this. This commit changes from wait_event() to wait_event_interruptible() to prevent the kernel from complaining just because RCU is idle.
