Right you are! I will step away for a bit to put a paper bag over
my head...

Userspace execution is a quiescent state in all cases. However, you
are quite right that NO_HZ_FULL makes a difference, namely, it allows
one CPU to reliably determine whether or not some other CPU is
currently executing either in userspace or in idle.
Without NO_HZ_FULL, CPUs can only detect their own userspace execution.
Which is what is happening here because rcu_check_callbacks() is being
invoked from the scheduling-clock interrupt, which is where the "user"
parameter comes from.
So the above code can reliably detect the usermode-execution quiescent
state because it is always running on the CPU in question.
