[PATCH 10/11] x86: Exit RCU extended QS on notify resume

[Frederic Weisbecker]

do_notify_resume() may be called on irq or exception
exit. But at that time the exception has already called
rcu_user_enter() and the irq has already called rcu_irq_exit().

Since it can use RCU read side critical section, we must call
rcu_user_exit() before doing anything there. Then we must call
back rcu_user_enter() after this function because we know we are
going to userspace from there.

This complete support for userspace RCU extended quiescent state
in x86-64.
