[RFC,49/86] osnoise: handle quiescent states directly

Commit Message

Ankur Arora Nov. 7, 2023, 9:57 p.m. UTC

To reduce RCU noise for the stopped tick case we introduce explicit
quiescent states for PREEMPT_RCU=y, and depend on cond_resched()
(and thus rcu_all_qs()) to handle PREEMPT_RCU=n.

With cond_resched() going away, introduce explicit quiescent states
for all configurations.
