[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.2 06/53] srcu: Delegate work to the boot cpu if using SRCU_SIZE_SMALL

[ Upstream commit 7f24626d6dd844bfc6d1f492d214d29c86d02550 ]

Commit 994f706872e6 ("srcu: Make Tree SRCU able to operate without
snp_node array") assumes that cpu 0 is always online. However, there
really are situations when some other CPU is the boot CPU, for example,
when booting a kdump kernel with the maxcpus=1 boot parameter.

On PowerPC, the kdump kernel can hang as follows:

The above splat occurs because PowerPC really does use maxcpus=1
instead of nr_cpus=1 in the kernel command line. Consequently, the
(quite possibly non-zero) kdump CPU is the only online CPU in the kdump
kernel. SRCU unconditionally queues a sdp->work on cpu 0, for which no
worker thread has been created, so sdp->work will be never executed and
__synchronize_srcu() will never be completed.

This commit therefore replaces CPU ID 0 with get_boot_cpu_id() in key
places in Tree SRCU. Since the CPU indicated by get_boot_cpu_id()
is guaranteed to be online, this avoids the above splat.
