rcu-tasks: Make Tasks RCU account for userspace execution
The main Tasks RCU quiescent state is voluntary context switch. However,
userspace execution is also a valid quiescent state, and is a valuable one
for userspace applications that spin repeatedly executing light-weight
non-sleeping system calls. Currently, such an application can delay a
Tasks RCU grace period for many tens of seconds.
This commit therefore enlists the aid of the scheduler-clock interrupt to
provide a Tasks RCU quiescent state when it interrupted a task executing
in userspace.
