Ankur Arora a86bf985ac rcu: handle quiescent states for PREEMPT_RCU=n, PREEMPT_COUNT=y
[ Upstream commit 83b28cfe79 ]

With PREEMPT_RCU=n, cond_resched() provides urgently needed quiescent
states for read-side critical sections via rcu_all_qs().
One reason why this was needed: lacking preempt-count, the tick
handler has no way of knowing whether it is executing in a
read-side critical section or not.

With (PREEMPT_LAZY=y, PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=n), we get (PREEMPT_COUNT=y,
PREEMPT_RCU=n). In this configuration cond_resched() is a stub and
does not provide quiescent states via rcu_all_qs().
(PREEMPT_RCU=y provides this information via rcu_read_unlock() and
its nesting counter.)

So, use the availability of preempt_count() to report quiescent states
in rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq().
