rcu: Check for jiffies going backwards
A report of a 12-jiffy normal RCU CPU stall warning raises interesting
questions about the nature of time on the offending system. This commit
instruments rcu_sched_clock_irq(), which is RCU's hook into the
scheduling-clock interrupt, checking for the jiffies counter going
backwards.
