When booting kernels built with both CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y
and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, the rcu_read_unlock_special() function's
invocation of irq_work_queue_on() the init_irq_work() causes the
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() function to work execute in SCHED_FIFO
irq_work kthreads. Because rcu_read_unlock_special() is invoked on each
rcu_read_unlock() in such kernels, the amount of work just keeps piling
up, resulting in a boot-time hang.
This commit therefore avoids this hang by using IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD()
instead of init_irq_work(), but only in kernels built with both
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y and CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.

Suppose we have a kernel built with both CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y
and CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. Suppose further that an RCU reader from which RCU
core needs a quiescent state ends in rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore().
This function will then invoke rcu_report_qs_rdp() in order to immediately
report that quiescent state. Unfortunately, it will not have cleared
that reader's CPU's rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm field.
As a result, rcu_report_qs_rdp() will take an early exit because it
will believe that this CPU has not yet encountered a quiescent state,
and there will be no reporting of the current quiescent state.
This commit therefore causes rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() to
clear the ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm field before invoking rcu_report_qs_rdp().

The rcu_spawn_gp_kthread() function is called as an early initcall,
which means that SMP initialization hasn't happened yet and only the
boot CPU is online. Therefore, create only the boost kthread for the
leaf node of the boot CPU.

In some places, RCU code calls cpumask_weight() to check if any bit of a
given cpumask is set. We can do it more efficiently with cpumask_empty()
because cpumask_empty() stops traversing the cpumask as soon as it finds
first set bit, while cpumask_weight() counts all bits unconditionally.

When the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter is set to zero, all
RCU_SOFTIRQ processing is carried out by the per-CPU rcuc kthreads.
If these kthreads are being starved, quiescent states will not be
reported, which in turn means that the grace period will not end, which
can in turn trigger RCU CPU stall warnings. This commit therefore dumps
stack traces of stalled CPUs' rcuc kthreads, which can help identify
what is preventing those kthreads from running.

Currently rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() releases rnp->boost_mtx
before reporting the expedited quiescent state. Under heavy real-time
load, this can result in this function being preempted before the
quiescent state is reported, which can in turn prevent the expedited grace
period from completing. Tim Murray reports that the resulting expedited
grace periods can take hundreds of milliseconds and even more than one
second, when they should normally complete in less than a millisecond.
This was fine given that there were no particular response-time
constraints for synchronize_rcu_expedited(), as it was designed
for throughput rather than latency. However, some users now need
sub-100-millisecond response-time constratints.
This patch therefore follows Neeraj's suggestion (seconded by Tim and
by Uladzislau Rezki) of simply reversing the two operations.

In non-preemptible kernels, an unfortunately timed expedited grace period
can result in the rcu_exp_handler() IPI handler setting the rcu_data
structure's cpu_no_qs.b.exp field just as the target CPU enters idle.
There are situations in which this field will not be checked until after
that CPU exits idle. The resulting grace-period latency does not qualify
as "expedited".
This commit therefore checks this field upon non-preemptible idle entry in
the rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() function. It also qualifies the rcu_core()
preempt_count() check with IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT) to prevent
false-positive quiescent states from count-free kernels.

Having two fields for the same purpose with subtle differences on
different RCU flavours is confusing, especially when both fields always
exist on both RCU flavours.
Fortunately, it is now safe for preemptible RCU to rely on the rcu_data
structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp field, just like non-preemptible RCU.
This commit therefore removes the ad-hoc ->exp_deferred_qs field.

Preemptible RCU does not use the rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp,
instead using a separate ->exp_deferred_qs field to record the need for
an expedited quiescent state.
In fact ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp should never be set in preemptible RCU because
preemptible RCU's expedited grace periods use other mechanisms to record
quiescent states.
This commit therefore removes the implicit rcu_qs() reference to
->cpu_no_qs.b.exp in favor of a direct reference to ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm.

When the boost kthreads are created on systems with nohz_full CPUs,
the cpus_allowed_ptr is set to housekeeping_cpumask(HK_FLAG_KTHREAD).
However, when the rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity() is called, the original
affinity will be changed and these kthreads can subsequently run on
nohz_full CPUs. This commit makes rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity()
restrict these boost kthreads to housekeeping CPUs.

All of the uses of CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y that I have seen involve
systems with RCU callbacks offloaded. In this situation, all that this
Kconfig option does is slow down idle entry/exit with an additional
allways-taken early exit. If this is the only use case, then this
Kconfig option nothing but an attractive nuisance that needs to go away.
This commit therefore removes the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ Kconfig option.

RCU managed to grow a few noinstr violations:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: rcu_dynticks_eqs_enter()+0x0: call to rcu_dynticks_task_trace_enter() leaves .noinstr.text section
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: rcu_dynticks_eqs_exit()+0xe: call to rcu_dynticks_task_trace_exit() leaves .noinstr.text section
Fix them by adding __always_inline to the relevant trivial functions.
Also replace the noinstr with __always_inline for the existing
rcu_dynticks_task_*() functions since noinstr would force noinline
them, even when empty, which seems silly.
