rcu: Prevent lockdep-RCU splats on lock acquisition/release

Browse Source 
The rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() functions transition the
current CPU between online and offline state from an RCU perspective.
Unfortunately, this means that the rcu_cpu_starting() function's lock
acquisition and the rcu_report_dead() function's lock releases happen
while the CPU is offline from an RCU perspective, which can result
in lockdep-RCU splats about using RCU from an offline CPU.  And this
situation can also result in too-short grace periods, especially in
guest OSes that are subject to vCPU preemption.

This commit therefore uses sequence-count-like synchronization to forgive
use of RCU while RCU thinks a CPU is offline across the full extent of
the rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() function's lock acquisitions
and releases.

One approach would have been to use the actual sequence-count primitives
provided by the Linux kernel.  Unfortunately, the resulting code looks
completely broken and wrong, and is likely to result in patches that
break RCU in an attempt to address this appearance of broken wrongness.
Plus there is no net savings in lines of code, given the additional
explicit memory barriers required.

Therefore, this sequence count is instead implemented by a new ->ofl_seq
field in the rcu_node structure.  If this counter's value is an odd
number, RCU forgives RCU read-side critical sections on other CPUs covered
by the same rcu_node structure, even if those CPUs are offline from
an RCU perspective.  In addition, if a given leaf rcu_node structure's
->ofl_seq counter value is an odd number, rcu_gp_init() delays starting
the grace period until that counter value changes.
