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.

+// Swap in a null panic hook to avoid printing "thread panicked" to stderr,

+// working. When proc-macro2 is used from outside of a procedural macro all
+// of the proc_macro crate's APIs currently panic.
+//
+// The Once is to prevent the possibility of this ordering:
+//
+//     thread 1 calls take_hook, gets the user's original hook
+//     thread 1 calls set_hook with the null hook
+//     thread 2 calls take_hook, thinks null hook is the original hook
+//     thread 2 calls set_hook with the null hook
+//     thread 1 calls set_hook with the actual original hook
+//     thread 2 calls set_hook with what it thinks is the original hook
+//
+// in which the user's hook has been lost.
+//
+// There is still a race condition where a panic in a different thread can
+// happen during the interval that the user's original panic hook is
+// unregistered such that their hook is incorrectly not called. This is
+// sufficiently unlikely and less bad than printing panic messages to stderr
+// on correct use of this crate. Maybe there is a libstd feature request
+// here. For now, if a user needs to guarantee that this failure mode does
+// not occur, they need to call e.g. `proc_macro2::Span::call_site()` from
+// the main thread before launching any other threads.
