rcu: New rcu_user_enter() and rcu_user_exit() APIs

RCU currently insists that only idle tasks can enter RCU idle mode, which
prohibits an adaptive tickless kernel (AKA nohz cpusets), which in turn
would mean that usermode execution would always take scheduling-clock
interrupts, even when there is only one task runnable on the CPU in
question.

This commit therefore adds rcu_user_enter() and rcu_user_exit(), which
allow non-idle tasks to enter RCU idle mode.  These are quite similar
to rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(), respectively, except that they
omit the idle-task checks.

[ Updated to use "user" flag rather than separate check functions. ]

[ paulmck: Updated to drop exports of new functions based on Josh's patch
  getting rid of the need for them. ]
