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.

+	help
+	  If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the

+	  you also turn on the kernel config option
+	  CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to aid in producing more reliable stack
+	  backtraces in the external debugger.  Documentation of
+	  kernel debugger is available at http://kgdb.sourceforge.net
+	  as well as in Documentation/process/debugging/kgdb.rst.  If
+	  unsure, say N.

+	select KPROBES
+	default y
+	help
+	  If set to Y the debug core will use the kprobe blocklist to
+	  identify symbols where it is unsafe to set breakpoints.
+	  In particular this disallows instrumentation of functions
+	  called during debug trap handling and thus makes it very
+	  difficult to inadvertently provoke recursive trap handling.

+	help
+	  This is a kgdb I/O module specifically designed to test
+	  kgdb's internal functions.  This kgdb I/O module is
+	  intended to for the development of new kgdb stubs
+	  as well as regression testing the kgdb internals.
+	  See the drivers/misc/kgdbts.c for the details about
+	  the tests.  The most basic of this I/O module is to boot

+	  Specifiers which kdb commands are enabled by default. This may
+	  be set to 1 or 0 to enable all commands or disable almost all
+	  commands.
+
+	  Alternatively the following bitmask applies:
+
+	    0x0002 - allow arbitrary reads from memory and symbol lookup
+	    0x0004 - allow arbitrary writes to memory
+	    0x0008 - allow current register state to be inspected
+	    0x0010 - allow current register state to be modified
+	    0x0020 - allow passive inspection (backtrace, process list, lsmod)
+	    0x0040 - allow flow control management (breakpoint, single step)
+	    0x0080 - enable signalling of processes
+	    0x0100 - allow machine to be rebooted
+
+	  The config option merely sets the default at boot time. Both
+	  issuing 'echo X > /sys/module/kdb/parameters/cmd_enable' or
+	  setting with kdb.cmd_enable=X kernel command line option will
+	  override the default settings.

+	depends on KGDB_KDB
+	default "0"
+	help
+	  This integer controls the behaviour of kdb when the kernel gets a
+	  catastrophic error, i.e. for a panic or oops.
+	  When KDB is active and a catastrophic error occurs, nothing extra
+	  will happen until you type 'go'.
+	  CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 0 (default). The first time
+	  you type 'go', you will be warned by kdb. The secend time you type

+	  kernel is still usable in this situation.
+	  CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 1. KDB tries to continue.
+	  No guarantees that the kernel is still usable in this situation.
+	  CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 2. KDB forces a reboot.
+	  If you are not sure, say 0.
+
+config ARCH_HAS_EARLY_DEBUG
+	bool
+	default n
+	help
+	  If an architecture can definitely handle entering the debugger
+	  when early_param's are parsed then it select this config.
+	  Otherwise, if "kgdbwait" is passed on the kernel command line it
+	  won't actually be processed until dbg_late_init() just after the
+	  call to kgdb_arch_late() is made.
+
+	  NOTE: Even if this isn't selected by an architecture we will
+	  still try to register kgdb to handle breakpoints and crashes
+	  when early_param's are parsed, we just won't act on the
+	  "kgdbwait" parameter until dbg_late_init().  If you get a
+	  crash and try to drop into kgdb somewhere between these two
+	  places you might or might not end up being able to use kgdb
+	  depending on exactly how far along the architecture has initted.
