rt: Introduce cpu_chill()
Retry loops on RT might loop forever when the modifying side was preempted. Add cpu_chill() to replace cpu_relax(). cpu_chill() defaults to cpu_relax() for non RT. On RT it puts the looping task to sleep for a tick so the preempted task can make progress. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: stable-rt@vger.kernel.org
