From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> There is interrupt-exit code that forces on the tick for nohz_full CPUs failing to respond to the current grace period in a timely fashion. However, this code must compare ->dynticks_nmi_nesting to the value 2 in the interrupt-exit fastpath. This commit therefore moves this code to the interrupt-entry fastpath, where a lighter-weight comparison to zero may be used.
