RCU's expedited grace periods can participate in out-of-memory deadlocks
due to all available system_wq kthreads being blocked and there not being
memory available to create more. This commit prevents such deadlocks
by allocating an RCU-specific workqueue_struct at early boot time, and
providing it with a rescuer to ensure forward progress. This uses the
shiny new init_rescuer() function provided by Tejun (but indirectly).
This commit also causes SRCU to use this new RCU-specific
workqueue_struct. Note that SRCU's use of workqueues never blocks them
waiting for readers, so this should be safe from a forward-progress
viewpoint. Note that this moves SRCU from system_power_efficient_wq
to a normal workqueue. In the unlikely event that this results in
measurable degradation, a separate power-efficient workqueue will be
creates for SRCU.

This commit reworks the first loop in sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus()
to avoid doing unnecssary stores to other CPUs' rcu_data
structures. This speeds up that first loop by roughly a factor of
two on an old x86 system. In the case where the system is mostly
idle, this loop incurs a large fraction of the overhead of the
synchronize_rcu_expedited(). There is less benefit on busy systems
because the overhead of the smp_call_function_single() in the second
loop dominates in that case.
However, it is not unusual to do configuration chances involving
RCU grace periods (both expedited and normal) while the system is
mostly idle, so this optimization is worth doing.
While we are in the area, this commit also adds parentheses to arguments
used by the for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu() macro.

The rcu_seq_end() function increments seq signifying completion
of a grace period, after that checks that the seq is even and wakes
_synchronize_rcu_expedited(). The _synchronize_rcu_expedited() function
uses wait_event() to wait for even seq. The problem is that wait_event()
can return as soon as seq becomes even without waiting for the wakeup.
In such case the warning in rcu_seq_end() can falsely fire if the next
expedited grace period starts before the check.
Check that seq has good value before incrementing it.

The current preemptible RCU implementation goes through three phases
during bootup. In the first phase, there is only one CPU that is running
with preemption disabled, so that a no-op is a synchronous grace period.
In the second mid-boot phase, the scheduler is running, but RCU has
not yet gotten its kthreads spawned (and, for expedited grace periods,
workqueues are not yet running. During this time, any attempt to do
a synchronous grace period will hang the system (or complain bitterly,
depending). In the third and final phase, RCU is fully operational and
everything works normally.
This has been OK for some time, but there has recently been some
synchronous grace periods showing up during the second mid-boot phase.
This code worked "by accident" for awhile, but started failing as soon
as expedited RCU grace periods switched over to workqueues in commit
8b355e3bc1 ("rcu: Drive expedited grace periods from workqueue").
Note that the code was buggy even before this commit, as it was subject
to failure on real-time systems that forced all expedited grace periods
to run as normal grace periods (for example, using the rcu_normal ksysfs
parameter). The callchain from the failure case is as follows:
early_amd_iommu_init()
|-> acpi_put_table(ivrs_base);
|-> acpi_tb_put_table(table_desc);
|-> acpi_tb_invalidate_table(table_desc);
|-> acpi_tb_release_table(...)
|-> acpi_os_unmap_memory
|-> acpi_os_unmap_iomem
|-> acpi_os_map_cleanup
|-> synchronize_rcu_expedited
The kernel showing this callchain was built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y,
which caused the code to try using workqueues before they were
initialized, which did not go well.
This commit therefore reworks RCU to permit synchronous grace periods
to proceed during this mid-boot phase. This commit is therefore a
fix to a regression introduced in v4.9, and is therefore being put
forward post-merge-window in v4.10.
This commit sets a flag from the existing rcu_scheduler_starting()
function which causes all synchronous grace periods to take the expedited
path. The expedited path now checks this flag, using the requesting task
to drive the expedited grace period forward during the mid-boot phase.
Finally, this flag is updated by a core_initcall() function named
rcu_exp_runtime_mode(), which causes the runtime codepaths to be used.
Note that this arrangement assumes that tasks are not sent POSIX signals
(or anything similar) from the time that the first task is spawned
through core_initcall() time.

After doing so, rcu_idle/irq_enter/exit() are useless, so we can simply
make these functions empty.

Rather than "fix" it at each use site, and have inconsistent
