rcu: Export rcu_request_urgent_qs_task()

If a CPU is executing a long series of non-sleeping system calls,
RCU grace periods can be delayed for on the order of a couple hundred
milliseconds. This is normally not a problem, but if each system call
does a call_rcu(), those callbacks can stack up. RCU will eventually
notice this callback storm, but use of rcu_request_urgent_qs_task()
allows the code invoking call_rcu() to give RCU a heads up.

This function is not for general use, not yet, anyway.

rcu: Refactor kvfree_call_rcu() and high-level helpers

Currently a kvfree_call_rcu() takes an offset within a structure as
a second parameter, so a helper such as a kvfree_rcu_arg_2() has to
convert rcu_head and a freed ptr to an offset in order to pass it. That
leads to an extra conversion on macro entry.

Instead of converting, refactor the code in way that a pointer that has
to be freed is passed directly to the kvfree_call_rcu().

This patch does not make any functional change and is transparent to
all kvfree_rcu() users.

rcu: Add functions to compare grace-period state values

This commit adds same_state_synchronize_rcu() and
same_state_synchronize_rcu_full() functions to compare grace-period state
values, for example, those obtained from get_state_synchronize_rcu()
and get_state_synchronize_rcu_full(). These functions allow small
structures to omit these state values by placing them in list headers for
lists containing structures with the same token value. Presumably the
per-structure list pointers are the same ones used to link the structures
into whatever reader-accessible data structure was used.

This commit also adds both NUM_ACTIVE_RCU_POLL_OLDSTATE and
NUM_ACTIVE_RCU_POLL_FULL_OLDSTATE, which define the maximum number of
distinct unsigned long values and rcu_gp_oldstate values, respectively,
corresponding to not-yet-completed grace periods. These values can be
used to size arrays of the list headers described above.

to start until after workqueues are fully initialized. On the other
hand, both synchronize_rcu() and synchronize_rcu_expedited() can also
be invoked very early, and the resulting grace periods will be taken

rcu: Provide polling interfaces for Tree RCU grace periods

There is a need for a non-blocking polling interface for RCU grace
periods, so this commit supplies start_poll_synchronize_rcu() and
poll_state_synchronize_rcu() for this purpose. Note that the existing
get_state_synchronize_rcu() may be used if future grace periods are
inevitable (perhaps due to a later call_rcu() invocation). The new
start_poll_synchronize_rcu() is to be used if future grace periods
might not otherwise happen. Finally, poll_state_synchronize_rcu()
provides a lockless check for a grace period having elapsed since
the corresponding call to either of the get_state_synchronize_rcu()
or start_poll_synchronize_rcu().

As with get_state_synchronize_rcu(), the return value from either
get_state_synchronize_rcu() or start_poll_synchronize_rcu() is passed in
to a later call to either poll_state_synchronize_rcu() or the existing
(might_sleep) cond_synchronize_rcu().
