arm: Use _rcuidle tracepoint to allow use from idle



Testing on ARM encountered the following pair of lockdep-RCU splats:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

===============================
[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
4.6.0-rc4-next-20160422 #1 Not tainted
-------------------------------
include/trace/events/power.h:328 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
no locks held by swapper/0/0.

These are caused by event tracing from the idle loop, and they were
exposed by commit 293e2421 ("rcu: Remove superfluous versions of
rcu_read_lock_sched_held()"), which suppressed some false negatives.
The current commit therefore adds the _rcuidle suffix to make RCU aware
of this implicit use of RCU by event tracing, thus preventing both splats.
