[S390] idle: avoid RCU usage in extended quiescent state
Avoid calling wake_up() from our NMI "bottom halve" from RCU extended quiescent state in idle. wake_up() has RCU read-side critical sections but this will be completely ignored by RCU if the cpu is in extended quiescent state. Which means that whatever object is being accessed from within the read-side critical section can be freed concurrently from a different cpu. So make sure we leave extended quiescent state before calling wake_up(). Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
