[0/4] rcu: Fix PF_IDLE related issues, part. 1

Message

The modification of PF_IDLE semantics lately to fix a bug in rcutiny
eventually introduced new bugs in RCU-tasks. This series revert that
PF_IDLE modification and fix rcutiny in an alternate way.

More issues need to be fixed in RCU-tasks:

* The boot code preceding the idle entry is included in this
  quiescent state. Especially after the completion of kthreadd_done
  after which init/1 can launch userspace concurrently. The window
  is tiny before PF_IDLE is set but it exists.

* Similarly, the boot code preceding the idle entry on secondary
  CPUs is wrongly accounted as RCU tasks quiescent state.

And those will be fixed separetely.

Frederic Weisbecker (4):
  softirq: Rename __raise_softirq_irqoff() to raise_softirq_no_wake()
  softirq: Introduce raise_ksoftirqd_irqoff()
  rcu: Make tiny RCU use ksoftirqd to trigger a QS from idle
  Revert "kernel/sched: Modify initial boot task idle setup"
