rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ respect nohz= boot parameter
If the nohz= boot parameter disables nohz, then RCU_FAST_NO_HZ needs to also disable itself. This commit therefore checks for tick_nohz_enabled being zero, disabling rcu_prepare_for_idle() if so. This commit assumes that tick_nohz_enabled can change at runtime: If this is not the case, then a simpler approach suffices. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
