    rcu: Avoid needlessly IPIing CPUs at GP end · 84ad00cb

    If a CPU enters dyntick-idle mode with callbacks pending, it will need
    an IPI at the end of the grace period.  However, if it exits dyntick-idle
    mode before the grace period ends, it will be needlessly IPIed at the
    end of the grace period.
    
    Therefore, this commit clears the per-CPU rcu_awake_at_gp_end flag
    when a CPU determines that it does not need it.  This in turn requires
    disabling interrupts across much of rcu_prepare_for_idle() in order to
    avoid having nested interrupts clearing this state out from under us.
