Sean noted that ever since commit 152e11f6df29 ("sched/fair: Implement
delayed dequeue") KVM's preemption notifiers have started
mis-classifying preemption vs blocking.

Notably p-&gt;on_rq is no longer sufficient to determine if a task is
runnable or blocked -- the aforementioned commit introduces tasks that
remain on the runqueue even through they will not run again, and
should be considered blocked for many cases.

Add the task_is_runnable() helper to classify things and audit all
external users of the p-&gt;on_rq state. Also add a few comments.

<content type='text'>
This commit adds the start time, in jiffies, of the most recently started
rcu_barrier_tasks*() operation to the diagnostic output used by rcuscale.
This information can be helpful in distinguishing a hung barrier operation
from a long series of barrier operations.

rcu_tasks_trace_torture_stats_print(), and
rcu_tasks_rude_torture_stats_print() functions that provide detailed
diagnostics on grace-period, callback, and barrier state.

<title>rcu/tasks: Mark callbacks not currently participating in barrier operation</title>

Each Tasks RCU flavor keeps a count of the number of callbacks that the
current rcu_barrier_tasks*() is waiting on, but there is currently no
easy way to work out which callback is stuck.  One way to do this is to
mark idle RCU-barrier callbacks by making the -&gt;next pointer point to
the callback itself, and this commit does just that.

Later commits will use this for debug output.

The rtp-&gt;tasks_gp_seq grace-period sequence number is not a strict count,
but rather the usual RCU sequence number with the lower few bits tracking
per-grace-period state and the upper bits the count of grace periods
since boot, give or take the initial value.  This commit therefore
adjusts this comment.

The current mapping of smp_processor_id() to a CPU processing Tasks-RCU
callbacks makes some assumptions about layout.  This commit therefore
adds a WARN_ON() to check these assumptions.

For kernels built with CONFIG_FORCE_NR_CPUS=y, the nr_cpu_ids is
defined as NR_CPUS instead of the number of possible cpus, this
will cause the following system panic:
