Changes:

Make expedited grace periods expedite normal RCU callbacks

Miscellaneous fixes:
 * Improve diagnostic output with character task states.
 * Mark accesses to inform KCSAN of concurrency design.
 * Move from kmalloc() to kmalloc_obj().
 * Documentation updates.
 * Improve handling of RCU deferred quiescent states.
 * Clean up unused function arguments and structure fields.
 * Reduce show_rcu_gp_kthreads() stack space.

Tasks RCU updates:
 * Clean up after SRCU re-implementation of Tasks Trace RCU.
 * Mark accesses to inform KCSAN of concurrency design.
 * Add ->lazy_timer status to diagnostic output.
 * Remove an unnecessary memory barrier.
 * Fix a data race, courtesy of KCSAN.
 * Documentation updates.
 * Convert cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() from macro to static inline
   function.

SRCU updates:
 * Add Rust helpers for SRCU.
 * Avoid losing queued work at cleanup_srcu_struct() time.

Torture-test updates:
 * Preparation work for immediate RCU priority deboosting.
 * Test RCU readers from real interrupt handlers (as opposed to softirq).
 * Simplify code through use of cpumask_next_wrap().
 * Improve diagnostic output with character task states.
 * Add rcutorture.nwriters parameter to allow lightweight stall testing,
   and rcutorture.stall_only to make doing so easier.
 * Test an RCU Tasks Trace grace period implying an RCU grace period.
 * Make RCU Tasks Trace torturing track reader batches.
 * Fix a data race, courtesy of KCSAN.
 * Plug a shuffle_tmp_mask memory leak on kthread spawn failure.

+  Common access controllers properties
+
+  Access controllers are in charge of stating which of the hardware blocks under
+  their responsibility (their domain) can be accesssed by which compartment. A
+  compartment can be a cluster of CPUs (or coprocessors), a range of addresses
+  or a group of hardware blocks. An access controller's domain is the set of
+  resources covered by the access controller.
+
+  This device tree binding can be used to bind devices to their access
+  controller provided by access-controllers property. In this case, the device
+  is a consumer and the access controller is the provider.
+
+  An access controller can be represented by any node in the device tree and
+  can provide one or more configuration parameters, needed to control parameters
+  of the consumer device. A consumer node can refer to the provider by phandle
+  and a set of phandle arguments, specified by '#access-controller-cells'
+  property in the access controller node.
+
+  Access controllers are typically used to set/read the permissions of a
+  hardware block and grant access to it. Any of which depends on the access
+  controller. The capabilities of each access controller are defined by the
+  binding of the access controller device.
+
+  Each node can be a consumer for the several access controllers.

+    description:
+      Number of cells in an access-controllers specifier;
+      Can be any value as specified by device tree binding documentation
+      of a particular provider. The node is an access controller.

+    description:
+      A list of access-controllers names, sorted in the same order as

+      access-controller-names to match with existing access-controllers entries.
