This patch might well be correct, but there are supposed to be upcoming
changes in the idle loop that would make it possible for RCU Tasks to
take idle tasks into account:

There are currently issues in amd_e400_idle() and mwait_idle() preventing
this, and there might well also be similar issues in non-x86 idle loops:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220519135439.GX1790663@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1/

So I must hold off on this patch series for the time being.  Nevertheless,
thank you very much for your effort and interest in RCU.

							Thanx, Paul
