[PATCH tip/core/rcu 08/26] rcu: Priority-boost-related sleeps to idle priority

[paulmck]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul...@kernel.org>

This commit converts the long-standing schedule_timeout_interruptible()
call used by RCU's priority-boosting kthreads to schedule_timeout_idle().
This conversion avoids polluting the load-average with RCU-related
sleeping.
