Entirely untested, but something like the below shrinks the
amount of code called under rcu_idle.

Also, why are trace_cpu_idle*() not inside rcu_idle_{enter,exit}() ?
Doesn't seem to make sense to duplicate all that.

Also, the .cpu argument to trace_cpu_idle() seems silly, how is that
_ever_ going to be any other cpu than the current?

Also, the below removes all trace_.*_rcuidle() usage.
