[ Upstream commit dda98810b552fc6bf650f4270edeebdc2f28bd3f ]

For the kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL=y and
CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y, the following scenarios will trigger WARN_ON_ONCE()
in the rcu_nocb_bypass_lock() and rcu_nocb_wait_contended() functions:

CPU2 CPU11
kthread
rcu_nocb_cb_kthread ksys_write
rcu_do_batch vfs_write
rcu_torture_timer_cb proc_sys_write
__kmem_cache_free proc_sys_call_handler
kmemleak_free drop_caches_sysctl_handler
delete_object_full drop_slab
__delete_object shrink_slab
put_object lazy_rcu_shrink_scan
call_rcu rcu_nocb_flush_bypass
__call_rcu_commn rcu_nocb_bypass_lock
raw_spin_trylock(&rdp->nocb_bypass_lock) fail
atomic_inc(&rdp->nocb_lock_contended);
rcu_nocb_wait_contended WARN_ON_ONCE(smp_processor_id() != rdp->cpu);
WARN_ON_ONCE(atomic_read(&rdp->nocb_lock_contended)) |
|_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _same rdp and rdp->cpu != 11_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __|

Reproduce this bug with "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches".

This commit therefore uses rcu_nocb_try_flush_bypass() instead of
rcu_nocb_flush_bypass() in lazy_rcu_shrink_scan(). If the nocb_bypass
queue is being flushed, then rcu_nocb_try_flush_bypass will return
directly.
