[PATCH 22/23] nohz: Optimize full dynticks state checks with static keys

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Wed Jul 31 2013 - 20:34:34 EST


These APIs are frequenctly accessed and priority is given
to optimize the full dynticks off-case in order to let
distros enable this feature without suffering from
significant performance regressions.

Let's inline these APIs and optimize them with static keys.
