There are a few remaining locations in kernel/rcu that still use
"&per_cpu()".  This commit replaces them with "per_cpu_ptr(&)", and does
not introduce any functional change.

This commit replaces the fictitious synchronize_rcu_rude() function with
its real-world synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() counterpart.

There are several ->trc_reader_special.b.need_qs data races that are
too low-probability for KCSAN to notice, but which will happen sooner
or later.  This commit therefore marks these accesses.

There are several ->trc_reader_nesting data races that are too
low-probability for KCSAN to notice, but which will happen sooner or
later.  This commit therefore marks these accesses, and comments one
that cannot race.

Accesses to task_struct structures must be either protected by RCU
or by get_task_struct().  Tasks trace RCU uses these in a non-obvious
combination, in conjunction with an IPI handler.  This commit therefore
adds comments explaining this usage.

Invoking trc_del_holdout() from within trc_wait_for_one_reader() is
only a performance optimization because the RCU Tasks Trace grace-period
kthread will eventually do this within check_all_holdout_tasks_trace().
But it is not a particularly important performance optimization because
it only applies to the grace-period kthread, of which there is but one.
This commit therefore removes this invocation of trc_del_holdout() in
favor of the one in check_all_holdout_tasks_trace() in the grace-period
kthread.

As Yanfei pointed out, although invoking trc_del_holdout() is safe
from the viewpoint of the integrity of the holdout list itself,
the put_task_struct() invoked by trc_del_holdout() can result in
use-after-free errors due to later accesses to this task_struct structure
by the RCU Tasks Trace grace-period kthread.

This commit therefore removes this call to trc_del_holdout() from
trc_inspect_reader() in favor of the grace-period thread's existing call
to trc_del_holdout(), thus eliminating that particular class of
use-after-free errors.

In some architectures, the no-op variant of show_rcu_tasks_gp_kthreads()
get "no previous prototype" compiler warnings.  These are false positives
given that kernel/rcu/tasks.h is included only once.  But why put up
with the compiler noise?

This commit therefore adds "static inline" to this definition to force
the compiler to accept this situation, while also moving it to its proper
place in kernel/rcu/rcu.h.
