rcu: add support for dynamic ticks and preempt rcu
The PREEMPT-RCU can get stuck if a CPU goes idle and NO_HZ is set. The
idle CPU will not progress the RCU through its grace period and a
synchronize_rcu my get stuck. Without this patch I have a box that will
not boot when PREEMPT_RCU and NO_HZ are set. That same box boots fine
with this patch.
This patch comes from the -rt kernel where it has been tested for
several months.
