There is no longer any need for ->need_future_gp[] to count the number of
requests for future grace periods, so this commit converts the additions
to assignments to "true" and reduces the size of each element to one byte.
While we are in the area, fix an obsolete comment.

Currently, the rcu_future_needs_gp() function checks only the current
element of the ->need_future_gps[] array, which might miss elements that
were offset from the expected element, for example, due to races with
the start or the end of a grace period.  This commit therefore makes
rcu_future_needs_gp() use the need_any_future_gp() macro to check all
of the elements of this array.

The rcu_cbs_completed() function provides the value of ->completed
at which new callbacks can safely be invoked.  This is recorded in
two-element ->need_future_gp[] arrays in the rcu_node structure, and
the elements of these arrays corresponding to the just-completed grace
period are zeroed at the end of that grace period.  However, the
rcu_cbs_completed() function can return the current ->completed value
plus either one or two, so it is possible for the corresponding
->need_future_gp[] entry to be cleared just after it was set, thus
losing a request for a future grace period.

This commit avoids this race by expanding ->need_future_gp[] to four
elements.

Currently, rcu_gp_cleanup() scans the rcu_node tree in order to reset
state to reflect the end of the grace period.  It also checks to see
whether a new grace period is needed, but in a number of cases, rather
than directly cause the new grace period to be immediately started, it
instead leaves the grace-period-needed state where various fail-safes
can find it.  This works fine, but results in higher contention on the
root rcu_node structure's ->lock, which is undesirable, and contention
on that lock has recently become noticeable.

This commit therefore makes rcu_gp_cleanup() immediately start a new
grace period if there is any need for one.

It is quite possible that it will later be necessary to throttle the
grace-period rate, but that can be dealt with when and if.

Accessors for the ->need_future_gp[] array are currently open-coded,
which makes them difficult to change.  To improve maintainability, this
commit adds need_future_gp_mask() to compute the indexing mask from the
array size, need_future_gp_element() to access the element corresponding
to the specified grace-period number, and need_any_future_gp() to
determine if any future grace period is needed.  This commit also applies
need_future_gp_element() to existing open-coded single-element accesses.

Because rcu_eqs_special_set() is declared only in internal header
kernel/rcu/tree.h and stubbed in include/linux/rcutiny.h, it is
inaccessible outside of the RCU implementation.  This patch therefore
moves the  rcu_eqs_special_set() declaration to include/linux/rcutree.h,
which allows it to be used in non-rcu kernel code.

Commit ae91aa0adb14 ("rcu: Remove debugfs tracing") removed the
RCU debugfs tracing code, but did not remove the no-longer used
->exp_workdone{0,1,2,3} fields in the srcu_data structure.  This commit
therefore removes these fields along with the code that uselessly
updates them.

The rcu_preempt_do_callbacks() function was introduced in commit
09223371dea(rcu: Use softirq to address performance regression), where it
was necessary to handle kernel builds both containing and not containing
RCU-preempt.  Since then, various changes (most notably f8b7fc6b51
("rcu: use softirq instead of kthreads except when RCU_BOOST=y")) have
resulted in this function being invoked only from rcu_kthread_do_work(),
which is present only in kernels containing RCU-preempt, which in turn
means that the rcu_preempt_do_callbacks() function is no longer needed.

This commit therefore inlines rcu_preempt_do_callbacks() into its
sole remaining caller and also removes the rcu_state_p and rcu_data_p
indirection for added clarity.

The latency of RCU expedited grace periods grows with increasing numbers
of CPUs, eventually failing to be all that expedited.  Much of the growth
in latency is in the initialization phase, so this commit uses workqueues
to carry out this initialization concurrently on a rcu_node-by-rcu_node
basis.

This change makes use of a new rcu_par_gp_wq because flushing a work
item from another work item running from the same workqueue can result
in deadlock.
