rcu-tasks: Maintain real-time response in rcu_tasks_postscan()
The current code will scan the entirety of each per-CPU list of exiting
tasks in ->rtp_exit_list with interrupts disabled. This is normally just
fine, because each CPU typically won't have very many tasks in this state.
However, if a large number of tasks block late in do_exit(), these lists
could be arbitrarily long. Low probability, perhaps, but it really
could happen.
This commit therefore occasionally re-enables interrupts while traversing
these lists, inserting a dummy element to hold the current place in the
list. In kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, this re-enabling happens
after each list element is processed, otherwise every one-to-two jiffies.
