[PATCH tip/core/rcu 07/26] rcu: Switch task's syscall hooks on context switch

Paul E. McKenney

From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

Clear the syscalls hook of a task when it's scheduled out so that if
the task migrates, it doesn't run the syscall slow path on a CPU
that might not need it.

Also set the syscalls hook on the next task if needed.
