From: Onur Özkan <work@onurozkan.dev>
Restructure the SRCU initialization functions so it always follows
one direction:
init_srcu_struct() -> __init_srcu_struct() -> lockdep or generic
This uses the same wrapper style as mutex. It avoids the old confusing
style where init_srcu_struct() and __init_srcu_struct() called each
other in different configs. It also helps Rust side to have simpler
helper for SRCU initialization.

From: Onur Özkan <work@onurozkan.dev>
This is needed by rust/helpers/srcu.c which now adds
rust_helper_srcu_readers_active() as a wrapper around the SRCU helper
for Rust callers.
To achive this:
1- Move the srcu_readers_active() implementation from
"kernel/rcu/srcutree.c" to "include/linux/srcutree.h".
2- Implement a matching srcu_readers_active() in
"include/linux/srcutiny.h" and use it on the existing open-coded
WARN_ON() check in cleanup_srcu_struct().

From: Onur Özkan <work@onurozkan.dev>
Add a Rust abstraction for sleepable RCU (SRCU), backed by C srcu_struct.
Provide FFI helpers and a safe wrapper with a guard-based API for read-side
critical sections.
Cleanup is handled via `PinnedDrop`. It first checks for active read-side
sections and emits a warning if any guards were leaked. In that case, it
waits in `synchronize_srcu()` rather than risking a UAF by freeing the
`srcu_struct` that is still reachable from the C side. It then uses
`srcu_barrier()` to drain pending callbacks before finally calling
`cleanup_srcu_struct()`.

From: Zqiang <qiang.zhang@linux.dev>
In the cleanup_srcu_struct() function, when iterating over per-cpu's
srcu_data, timer_delete_sync(&sdp->delay_work) is called to cancel the
delayed work before doing flush_work(&sdp->work).
However, suppose that timer_delete_sync() returns 1, which means that it
successfully deleted an pending timer before it had a chance to fire.
But this also means that the sdp->work will not be queued, so that the
subsequent flush_work(&sdp->work) will returns immediately without waiting
for anything. Taken together, all of this means that any recently queued
SRCU callbacks to not be invoked, which can result in memory leaks,
hangs, or worse.
Fix this by checking the return value of timer_delete_sync(), if it
returns 1, explicitly queue sdp->work so that the callbacks will be
invoked and the following flush_work() will correctly wait for all of
those callbacks to finish executing.
