rcu: Hold off RCU_FAST_NO_HZ after timer posted
This commit handles workloads that transition quickly between idle and non-idle, and where the CPU's callbacks cannot be invoked, but where RCU does not have anything immediate for the CPU to do. Without this patch, the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ code can be invoked repeatedly on each entry to idle. The commit sets the per-CPU rcu_dyntick_holdoff variable to hold off further attempts for a tick.
