[PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 1/7] rcu: Don't check irq nesting from rcu idle entry/exit

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@xxxxxxxxx>

Because tasks do not nest, rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() do
not need to check for nesting.  This commit therefore moves nesting
checks from rcu_idle_enter_common() to rcu_irq_exit() and from
rcu_idle_exit_common() to rcu_irq_enter().
