rcu: Make expedited grace periods recheck dyntick idle state
Expedited grace periods check dyntick-idle state, and avoid sending
IPIs to idle CPUs, including those running guest OSes, and, on NOHZ_FULL
kernels, nohz_full CPUs. However, the kernel has been observed checking
a CPU while it was non-idle, but sending the IPI after it has gone
idle. This commit therefore rechecks idle state immediately before
sending the IPI, refraining from IPIing CPUs that have since gone idle.
