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.

+ * ntfs_cluster_free - free clusters on an ntfs volume
+ * @ni:		ntfs inode whose runlist describes the clusters to free
+ * @start_vcn:	vcn in the runlist of @ni at which to start freeing clusters
+ * @count:	number of clusters to free or -1 for all clusters
+ * @ctx:	active attribute search context if present or NULL if not
+ *
+ * Free @count clusters starting at the cluster @start_vcn in the runlist
+ * described by the ntfs inode @ni.
+ *
+ * If @count is -1, all clusters from @start_vcn to the end of the runlist are
+ * deallocated.  Thus, to completely free all clusters in a runlist, use
+ * @start_vcn = 0 and @count = -1.
+ *
+ * If @ctx is specified, it is an active search context of @ni and its base mft
+ * record.  This is needed when ntfs_cluster_free() encounters unmapped runlist
+ * fragments and allows their mapping.  If you do not have the mft record
+ * mapped, you can specify @ctx as NULL and ntfs_cluster_free() will perform
+ * the necessary mapping and unmapping.
+ *
+ * Note, ntfs_cluster_free() saves the state of @ctx on entry and restores it
+ * before returning.  Thus, @ctx will be left pointing to the same attribute on
+ * return as on entry.  However, the actual pointers in @ctx may point to
+ * different memory locations on return, so you must remember to reset any
+ * cached pointers from the @ctx, i.e. after the call to ntfs_cluster_free(),
+ * you will probably want to do:
+ *	m = ctx->mrec;
+ *	a = ctx->attr;
+ * Assuming you cache ctx->attr in a variable @a of type ATTR_RECORD * and that
+ * you cache ctx->mrec in a variable @m of type MFT_RECORD *.
+ *
+ * Note, ntfs_cluster_free() does not modify the runlist, so you have to remove
+ * from the runlist or mark sparse the freed runs later.
+ *
+ * Return the number of deallocated clusters (not counting sparse ones) on
+ * success and -errno on error.
+ *
+ * WARNING: If @ctx is supplied, regardless of whether success or failure is
+ *	    returned, you need to check IS_ERR(@ctx->mrec) and if 'true' the @ctx
+ *	    is no longer valid, i.e. you need to either call
+ *	    ntfs_attr_reinit_search_ctx() or ntfs_attr_put_search_ctx() on it.
+ *	    In that case PTR_ERR(@ctx->mrec) will give you the error code for
+ *	    why the mapping of the old inode failed.
+ *
+ * Locking: - The runlist described by @ni must be locked for writing on entry
+ *	      and is locked on return.  Note the runlist may be modified when
+ *	      needed runlist fragments need to be mapped.
+ *	    - The volume lcn bitmap must be unlocked on entry and is unlocked
+ *	      on return.
+ *	    - This function takes the volume lcn bitmap lock for writing and
+ *	      modifies the bitmap contents.
+ *	    - If @ctx is NULL, the base mft record of @ni must not be mapped on
+ *	      entry and it will be left unmapped on return.
+ *	    - If @ctx is not NULL, the base mft record must be mapped on entry
+ *	      and it will be left mapped on return.
