The main Tasks RCU quiescent state is voluntary context switch. However, userspace execution is also a valid quiescent state, and is a valuable one for userspace applications that spin repeatedly executing light-weight non-sleeping system calls. Currently, such an application can delay a Tasks RCU grace period for many tens of seconds. This commit therefore enlists the aid of the scheduler-clock interrupt to provide a Tasks RCU quiescent state when it interrupted a task executing in userspace.
