[PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 11/14] EXP nohz: Add TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@xxxxxxxxxx>

Indeed, kernel code is assumed to be quick enough (between two extended grace
periods) to avoid running the tick for RCU. But some long lasting kernel code
may require to tick temporarily.

You can use tick_nohz_dep_set_cpu(cpu, TICK_DEP_MASK_RCU) with the
following: @@@
