From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweis...@gmail.com>

If we enqueue an rcu callback, we need the CPU tick to stay
alive until we take care of those by completing the appropriate
grace period.

Thus, when we call_rcu(), send a self IPI that checks rcu_needs_cpu()
so that we restore a periodic tick behaviour that can take care of
everything.
