The current implementation of expedited grace periods has the user
task drive the grace period. This works, but has downsides: (1) The
user task must awaken tasks piggybacking on this grace period, which
can result in latencies rivaling that of the grace period itself, and
(2) User tasks can receive signals, which interfere with RCU CPU stall
warnings.
This commit therefore uses workqueues to drive the grace periods, so
that the user task need not do the awakening. A subsequent commit
will remove the now-unnecessary code allowing for signals.

The functions synchronize_rcu_expedited() and synchronize_sched_expedited()
have nearly identical code. This commit therefore consolidates this code
into a new _synchronize_rcu_expedited() function.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The locking tree was busier in this cycle than the usual pattern - a
couple of major projects happened to coincide.
The main changes are:
- implement the atomic_fetch_{add,sub,and,or,xor}() API natively
across all SMP architectures (Peter Zijlstra)
- add atomic_fetch_{inc/dec}() as well, using the generic primitives
(Davidlohr Bueso)
- optimize various aspects of rwsems (Jason Low, Davidlohr Bueso,
Waiman Long)
- optimize smp_cond_load_acquire() on arm64 and implement LSE based
atomic{,64}_fetch_{add,sub,and,andnot,or,xor}{,_relaxed,_acquire,_release}()
on arm64 (Will Deacon)
- introduce smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() and fix various barrier
mis-uses and bugs (Peter Zijlstra)
- after discovering ancient spin_unlock_wait() barrier bugs in its
implementation and usage, strengthen its semantics and update/fix
usage sites (Peter Zijlstra)
- optimize mutex_trylock() fastpath (Peter Zijlstra)
- ... misc fixes and cleanups"

In many cases in the RCU tree code, we iterate over the set of cpus for
a leaf node described by rcu_node::grplo and rcu_node::grphi, checking
per-cpu data for each cpu in this range. However, if the set of possible
cpus is sparse, some cpus described in this range are not possible, and
thus no per-cpu region will have been allocated (or initialised) for
them by the generic percpu code.
Erroneous accesses to a per-cpu area for these !possible cpus may fault
or may hit other data depending on the addressed generated when the
erroneous per cpu offset is applied. In practice, both cases have been
observed on arm64 hardware (the former being silent, but detectable with
additional patches).
To avoid issues resulting from this, we must iterate over the set of
*possible* cpus for a given leaf node. This patch add a new helper,
for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu, to enable this. As iteration is often
intertwined with rcu_node local bitmask manipulation, a new
leaf_node_cpu_bit helper is added to make this simpler and more
consistent. The RCU tree code is made to use both of these where
appropriate.
Without this patch, running reboot at a shell can result in an oops

People have been having some difficulty finding their way around the
RCU code. This commit therefore pulls some of the expedited grace-period
code from tree.c to a new tree_exp.h file. This commit is strictly code
movement, with the exception of a forward declaration that was added
for the sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() function.
A subsequent commit will move the remaining expedited grace-period code
from tree_plugin.h to tree_exp.h.
