replaces the open-coding with the shiny new rcu_seq operations.

Sequentially stopping the CPUs slows down expedited grace periods by
at least a factor of two, based on rcutorture's grace-period-per-second
rate. This is a conservative measure because rcutorture uses unusually
long RCU read-side critical sections and because rcutorture periodically
quiesces the system in order to test RCU's ability to ramp down to and
up from the idle state. This commit therefore replaces the stop_one_cpu()
with stop_one_cpu_nowait(), using an atomic-counter scheme to determine
when all CPUs have passed through the stopped state.

This commit gets rid of synchronize_sched_expedited()'s mutex_trylock()
polling loop in favor of a funnel-locking scheme based on the rcu_node
tree. The work-done check is done at each level of the tree, allowing
high-contention situations to be resolved quickly with reasonable levels
of mutex contention.

Now that synchronize_sched_expedited() have a mutex, it can use simpler
work-already-done detection scheme. This commit simplifies this scheme
by using something similar to the sequence-locking counter scheme.
A counter is incremented before and after each grace period, so that
the counter is odd in the midst of the grace period and even otherwise.
So if the counter has advanced to the second even number that is
greater than or equal to the snapshot, the required grace period has
already happened.

[ paulmck: Updated to include kernel/torture.c as suggested by Jason Low. ]
Races between CPU hotplug and grace periods can be difficult to resolve,
so the ->onoff_mutex is used to exclude the two events. Unfortunately,
this means that it is impossible for an outgoing CPU to perform the
last bits of its offlining from its last pass through the idle loop,
because sleeplocks cannot be acquired in that context.
This commit avoids these problems by buffering online and offline events
in a new ->qsmaskinitnext field in the leaf rcu_node structures. When a
grace period starts, the events accumulated in this mask are applied to
the ->qsmaskinit field, and, if needed, up the rcu_node tree. The special
case of all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure being
offline while there are still elements in that structure's ->blkd_tasks
list is handled using a new ->wait_blkd_tasks field. In this case,
propagating the offline bits up the tree is deferred until the beginning
of the grace period after all of the tasks have exited their RCU read-side
critical sections and removed themselves from the list, at which point
the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is cleared. If one of that leaf rcu_node
structure's CPUs comes back online before the list empties, then the
->wait_blkd_tasks flag is simply cleared.
This of course means that RCU's notion of which CPUs are offline can be
out of date. This is OK because RCU need only wait on CPUs that were
online at the time that the grace period started. In addition, RCU's
force-quiescent-state actions will handle the case where a CPU goes
offline after the grace period starts.

Although cond_resched_rcu_qs() only applies to TASKS_RCU, it is used
in places where it would be useful for it to apply to the normal RCU
flavors, rcu_preempt, rcu_sched, and rcu_bh. This is especially the
case for workloads that aggressively overload the system, particularly
those that generate large numbers of RCU updates on systems running
NO_HZ_FULL CPUs. This commit therefore communicates quiescent states
from cond_resched_rcu_qs() to the normal RCU flavors.
Note that it is unfortunately necessary to leave the old ->passed_quiesce
mechanism in place to allow quiescent states that apply to only one
flavor to be recorded. (Yes, we could decrement ->rcu_qs_ctr_snap in
that case, but that is not so good for debugging of RCU internals.)
In addition, if one of the RCU flavor's grace period has stalled, this
will invoke rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle(), resulting in a heavy-weight
quiescent state visible from other CPUs.

The ->n_force_qs_lh field is accessed without the benefit of any
synchronization, so this commit adds the needed ACCESS_ONCE() wrappers.
Yes, increments to ->n_force_qs_lh can be lost, but contention should
be low and the field is strictly statistical in nature, so this is not
a problem.

The underlying problem is that perf is invoking call_rcu() with the
scheduler locks held, but in NOCB mode, call_rcu() will with high
probability invoke the scheduler -- which just might want to use its
locks. The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is
to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which
does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks
afterwards.
One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to
simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer
held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such
deferral, the task before us is threefold:
1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held.
2. Defer the wakeup in such cases.
3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably
sooner rather than later.
We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks
being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired
with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that
is at least safe.
The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and
per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup.
This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending()
function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks()
to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt
where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because
scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to
be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any
state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle
state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state.
This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what
locks you might be holding, the key word being "should".
