Making arch_cpu_idle and rcu_idle_exit noinstr. Both functions run
in rcu 'not watching' context and if there's tracer attached to
them, which uses rcu (e.g. kprobe multi interface) it will hit RCU
warning like:

  [    3.018401]  do_idle+0x1c3/0x1d0

The call path is following:

default_idle_call
  rcu_idle_enter
  arch_cpu_idle
  rcu_idle_exit

The arch_cpu_idle and rcu_idle_exit are the only ones from above
path that are traceble and cause this problem on my setup.

[ I considered asking for an instrumentation_on() in rcu_idle_exit(),
but there is no point given that local_irq_restore() isn't something
you instrument anyway. ]
