[PATCH 3.18 115/150] sched: Add missing rcu protection to wake_up_all_idle_cpus

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net>

commit fd7de1e8d5b2b2b35e71332fafb899f584597150 upstream.

Locklessly doing is_idle_task(rq->curr) is only okay because of
RCU protection. The older variant of the broken code checked
rq->curr == rq->idle instead and therefore didn't need RCU.

Fixes: f6be8af1c95d ("sched: Add new API wake_up_if_idle() to wake up the idle cpu")
