[PATCH v5 tip/core/rcu 01/15] sched,rcu: Make cond_resched() provide RCU quiescent state

[Paul E. McKenney]

There is some confusion as to which of cond_resched() or
cond_resched_rcu_qs() should be added to long in-kernel loops.
This commit therefore eliminates the decision by adding RCU quiescent
states to cond_resched().  This commit also simplifies the code that
used to interact with cond_resched_rcu_qs(), and that now interacts with
cond_resched(), to reduce its overhead.  This reduction is necessary to
allow the heavier-weight cond_resched_rcu_qs() mechanism to be invoked
everywhere that cond_resched() is invoked.

Part of that reduction in overhead converts the jiffies_till_sched_qs
kernel parameter to read-only at runtime, thus eliminating the need for
bounds checking.
