[GIT PULL urgent] Fixes for three more RCU regressions

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello, Ingo,

I must confess that this past merge window was not RCU's best showing.
This series contains three more fixes for RCU regressions:

1.	A fix to __DECLARE_TRACE_RCU() that causes it to act as an
	interrupt from idle rather than as a task switch from idle.
	This change is needed due to the recent use of _rcuidle()
	tracepoints that can be invoked from interrupt handlers as well
	as from idle.  Without this fix, invoking _rcuidle() tracepoints
	from interrupt handlers results in splats and (more seriously)
	confusion on RCU's part as to whether a given CPU is idle or not.
	This confusion can in turn result in too-short grace periods and
	therefore random memory corruption.

2.	A fix to a subtle deadlock that could result due to RCU doing
	a wakeup while holding one of its rcu_node structure's locks.
	Although the probability of occurrence is low, it really
	does happen.  The fix, courtesy of Steven Rostedt, uses
	irq_work_queue() to avoid the deadlock.

3.	A fix to a silent deadlock (invisible to lockdep) due to the
	interaction of timeouts posted by RCU debug code enabled by
	CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_DELAY=y, grace-period initialization, and CPU
	hotplug operations.  This will not occur in production kernels,
	but really does occur in randconfig testing.  Diagnosis courtesy
	of Steven Rostedt.
