It used to be that RCU extended quiescent state and dynticks enter/exit
were coupled. But this isn't the case anymore. Nowadays RCU stops watching
some time later after dynticks is entered.

I wonder if we shouldn't take advantage of that cleanup for a meaning that
really reflect that RCU stops watching from there.

Paul what do you think? CT_EQS_IDX ? CT_RCUEQS_IDX? CT_RCUOFF_IDX? ...?

Thanks.
