[PATCH] RCU: introduce rcu_needs_cpu() interface 

With "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@us.ibm.com>

Introduce rcu_needs_cpu() interface.  This can be used to tell if there
will be a new rcu batch on a cpu soon by looking at the curlist pointer.
This can be used to avoid to enter a tickless idle state where the cpu
would miss that a new batch is ready when rcu_start_batch would be called
on a different cpu.
