[PATCH 04/11] rcu: Switch task's syscall hooks on context switch

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Wed Jul 11 2012 - 14:27:08 EST


Clear the syscalls hook of a task when it's scheduled out so that if
the task migrates, it doesn't run the syscall slow path on a CPU
that might not need it.

Also set the syscalls hook on the next task if needed.
