rcu: Exit RCU extended QS on user preemption

When exceptions or irq are about to resume userspace, if
the task needs to be rescheduled, the arch low level code
calls schedule() directly.

At that time we may be in extended quiescent state from RCU
POV: the exception is not anymore protected inside
rcu_user_exit() - rcu_user_enter() and the irq has called
rcu_irq_exit() already.

Create a new API schedule_user() that calls schedule() inside
rcu_user_exit()-rcu_user_enter() in order to protect it. Archs
will need to rely on it now to implement user preemption safely.
