The idle notifier, called by enter_idle(), enters into rcu read
side critical section but at that time we already switched into
the RCU-idle window (rcu_idle_enter() has been called). And it's
illegal to use rcu_read_lock() in that state.

This results in rcu reporting its bad mood:

Fix this by entering rcu extended quiescent state later, just before
the CPU goes to sleep.
