    rcu: use rcu softirq for forcing quiescent state
    
    As rcu callbacks are processed in __do_softirq() there is no need to
    use the scheduling softirq for forcing quiescent state. Any other
    softirq would do the job and the scheduling one is the most expensive.
    
    So use the already existing rcu softirq for that purpose. For telling
    apart why the rcu softirq was raised add a flag for the current usage.
