rcu: Settle config for userspace extended quiescent state

Create a new config option under the RCU menu that put
CPUs under RCU extended quiescent state (as in dynticks
idle mode) when they run in userspace. This require
some contribution from architectures to hook into kernel
and userspace boundaries.

Provide kernel entry/exit hooks necessary for userspace
RCU extended quiescent state. Syscalls need to be wrapped inside
rcu_user_exit()-rcu_user_enter() through the slow path using
TIF_NOHZ flag. Exceptions handlers must be wrapped as well. Irqs
are already protected inside rcu_irq_enter/rcu_irq_exit() but
preemption or signal handling on irq exit still need to be protected.

This option sets hooks on kernel / userspace boundaries and
puts RCU in extended quiescent state when the CPU runs in
userspace. It means that when a CPU runs in userspace, it is
excluded from the global RCU state machine and thus doesn't
