Subject: sched: add need-resched timed wait interface
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 17:55:35 +0530

Add tif_bitset_relaxed_wait() (and tif_need_resched_relaxed_wait() which
wraps it) which takes the thread_info bit and timeout duration as
parameters and waits until the bit is set or for the expiration of the
timeout.

The wait is implemented via smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout().

smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout() essentially provides the pattern used in
poll_idle() where we spin in a loop waiting for the flag to change until a
timeout occurs.

tif_need_resched_relaxed_wait() allows us to abstract out the internals
of waiting, scheduler specific details etc.

Placed in linux/sched/idle.h instead of linux/thread_info.h to work
around recursive include hell.
