arm: Use _rcuidle for smp_cross_call() tracepoints

Browse Source 
Further testing with false negatives suppressed by commit 293e2421fe
("rcu: Remove superfluous versions of rcu_read_lock_sched_held()")
identified another unprotected use of RCU from the idle loop.  Because RCU
actively ignores idle-loop code (for energy-efficiency reasons, among
other things), using RCU from the idle loop can result in too-short
grace periods, in turn resulting in arbitrary misbehavior.

The resulting lockdep-RCU splat is as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

===============================
[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
4.6.0-rc5-next-20160426+ #1112 Not tainted
-------------------------------
include/trace/events/ipi.h:35 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
no locks held by swapper/0/0.
