ARM: 7457/1: smp: Fix suspicious RCU originating from cpu_die()
While running hotplug tests I ran into this RCU splat
===============================
[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
3.4.0 #3275 Tainted: G W
-------------------------------
include/linux/rcupdate.h:729 rcu_read_lock() used illegally while idle!
other info that might help us debug this:
RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
4 locks held by swapper/2/0:

When a cpu is marked offline during its idle thread it calls
cpu_die() during an RCU idle period. cpu_die() calls complete()
to notify the killing process that the cpu has died. complete()
calls into the scheduler code and eventually grabs an RCU read
lock in cpuacct_charge().
Mark complete() as RCU_NONIDLE so that RCU pays attention to this
CPU for the duration of the complete() function even though it's
in idle.
