4bace7344d rcu_sync: Cleanup the CONFIG_PROVE_RCU checks
1. Rename __rcu_sync_is_idle() to rcu_sync_lockdep_assert() and
   change it to use rcu_lockdep_assert().

2. Change rcu_sync_is_idle() to return rsp->gp_state == GP_IDLE
   unconditonally, this way we can remove the same check from
   rcu_sync_lockdep_assert() and clearly isolate the debugging
   code.

Note: rcu_sync_enter()->wait_event(gp_state == GP_PASSED) needs
another CONFIG_PROVE_RCU check, the same as is done in ->sync(); but
this needs some simple preparations in the core RCU code to avoid the
code duplication.

07899a6e5f rcu_sync: Introduce rcu_sync_dtor()
This commit allows rcu_sync structures to be safely deallocated,
The trick is to add a new ->wait field to the gp_ops array.
This field is a pointer to the rcu_barrier() function corresponding
to the flavor of RCU in question.  This allows a new rcu_sync_dtor()
to wait for any outstanding callbacks before freeing the rcu_sync
structure.

3a518b76af rcu_sync: Add CONFIG_PROVE_RCU checks
This commit validates that the caller of rcu_sync_is_idle() holds the
corresponding type of RCU read-side lock, but only in kernels built
with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y.  This validation is carried out via a new
rcu_sync_ops->held() method that is checked within rcu_sync_is_idle().

Note that although this does add code to the fast path, it only does so
in kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y.

82e8c565be rcu_sync: Simplify rcu_sync using new rcu_sync_ops structure
This commit adds the new struct rcu_sync_ops which holds sync/call
methods, and turns the function pointers in rcu_sync_struct into an array
of struct rcu_sync_ops.  This simplifies the "init" helpers by collapsing
a switch statement and explicit multiple definitions into a simple
assignment and a helper macro, respectively.

cc44ca848f rcu: Create rcu_sync infrastructure
The rcu_sync infrastructure can be thought of as infrastructure to be
used to implement reader-writer primitives having extremely lightweight
readers during times when there are no writers.  The first use is in
the percpu_rwsem used by the VFS subsystem.

This infrastructure is functionally equivalent to

        struct rcu_sync_struct {
                atomic_t counter;
        };

	/* Check possibility of fast-path read-side operations. */
        static inline bool rcu_sync_is_idle(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss)
        {
                return atomic_read(&rss->counter) == 0;
        }

	/* Tell readers to use slowpaths. */
        static inline void rcu_sync_enter(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss)
        {
                atomic_inc(&rss->counter);
                synchronize_sched();
        }

	/* Allow readers to once again use fastpaths. */
        static inline void rcu_sync_exit(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss)
        {
                synchronize_sched();
                atomic_dec(&rss->counter);
        }

The main difference is that it records the state and only calls
synchronize_sched() if required.  At least some of the calls to
synchronize_sched() will be optimized away when rcu_sync_enter() and
rcu_sync_exit() are invoked repeatedly in quick succession.
