nohz: Add TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU
If a nohz_full CPU is looping in the kernel, the scheduling-clock tick might nevertheless remain disabled. In !PREEMPT kernels, this can prevent RCU's attempts to enlist the aid of that CPU's executions of cond_resched(), which can in turn result in an arbitrarily delayed grace period and thus an OOM. RCU therefore needs a way to enable a holdout nohz_full CPU's scheduler-clock interrupt. This commit therefore provides a new TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU value which RCU can pass to tick_dep_set_cpu() and friends to force on the scheduler-clock interrupt for a specified CPU or task. In some cases, rcutorture needs to turn on the scheduler-clock tick, so this commit also exports the relevant symbols to GPL-licensed modules.
