[GIT PULL] RCU fixes for v7.0 (part 2)

[Boqun Feng]

Hi Linus,

This is another set fixes for RCU in v7.0-rc, please pull these into
v7.0. The issue is since we replace the Tasks Trace RCU in tracing
(e.g. BPF) with SRCU, SRCU has to work in preemption disabled or
scheduler lock held contexts, which was missing in v7.0 RCU pull
request.

There is an email thread which can explain more of the context:

Thanks a lot for the report and test from Kumar and Andrea, and Joel and
Paul for the prompt fixes!

  srcu: Use irq_work to start GP in tiny SRCU (2026-03-25 09:00:05 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
RCU fixes for v7.0 - Part 2

Fix a regression introduced by commit c27cea4416a3 ("rcu: Re-implement
RCU Tasks Trace in terms of SRCU-fast"): BPF contexts can run with
preemption disabled or scheduler locks held, so call_srcu() must work in
all such contexts. Fix this by converting SRCU's spinlocks to raw
spinlocks and avoiding scheduler lock acquisition in call_srcu() by
deferring to an irq_work (similar to call_rcu_tasks_generic()), for both
tree SRCU and tiny SRCU. Also fix a follow-on lockdep splat caused by
srcu_node allocation under the newly introduced raw spinlock by
deferring the allocation to grace-period worker context.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Boqun
