On the irq exit path, tick_nohz_irq_exit()
may raise a softirq, which action leads to the wake up
path and select_task_rq_fair() that makes use of rcu
to iterate the domains.

This is an illegal use of RCU because we may be in RCU
extended quiescent state if we interrupted an RCU-idle
window in the idle loop:

Fix this by calling rcu_idle_enter() after tick_nohz_irq_exit().
