Patch series "kasan: memorize and print call_rcu stack", v8.

This patchset improves KASAN reports by making them to have call_rcu()
call stack information.  It is useful for programmers to solve
use-after-free or double-free memory issue.

The KASAN report was as follows(cleaned up slightly):

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in kasan_rcu_reclaim+0x58/0x60

Freed by task 0:
 kasan_save_stack+0x24/0x50
 kasan_set_track+0x24/0x38
 kasan_set_free_info+0x18/0x20
 __kasan_slab_free+0x10c/0x170
 kasan_slab_free+0x10/0x18
 kfree+0x98/0x270
 kasan_rcu_reclaim+0x1c/0x60

Last call_rcu():
 kasan_save_stack+0x24/0x50
 kasan_record_aux_stack+0xbc/0xd0
 call_rcu+0x8c/0x580
 kasan_rcu_uaf+0xf4/0xf8

Generic KASAN will record the last two call_rcu() call stacks and print up
to 2 call_rcu() call stacks in KASAN report.  it is only suitable for
generic KASAN.

This feature considers the size of struct kasan_alloc_meta and
kasan_free_meta, we try to optimize the structure layout and size, lets it
get better memory consumption.

This patch (of 4):

This feature will record the last two call_rcu() call stacks and prints up
to 2 call_rcu() call stacks in KASAN report.

When call_rcu() is called, we store the call_rcu() call stack into slub
alloc meta-data, so that the KASAN report can print rcu stack.

Pull sched/fifo updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "This adds the sched_set_fifo*() encapsulation APIs to remove static
  priority level knowledge from non-scheduler code.

  The three APIs for non-scheduler code to set SCHED_FIFO are:

   - sched_set_fifo()
   - sched_set_fifo_low()
   - sched_set_normal()

  These are two FIFO priority levels: default (high), and a 'low'
  priority level, plus sched_set_normal() to set the policy back to
  non-SCHED_FIFO.

  Since the changes affect a lot of non-scheduler code, we kept this in
  a separate tree"

Currently, the rcu_torture_current variable remains non-NULL until after
all readers have stopped.  During this time, rcu_torture_stats_print()
will think that the test is still ongoing, which can result in confusing
dmesg output.  This commit therefore NULLs rcu_torture_current immediately
after the rcu_torture_writer() kthread has decided to stop, thus informing
rcu_torture_stats_print() much sooner.

<content type='text'>
Several variants of Linux-kernel RCU interact with task-exit processing,
including preemptible RCU, Tasks RCU, and Tasks Trace RCU.  This commit
therefore adds testing of this interaction to rcutorture by adding
rcutorture.read_exit_burst and rcutorture.read_exit_delay kernel-boot
parameters.  These kernel parameters control the frequency and spacing
of special read-then-exit kthreads that are spawned.

Several variants of Linux-kernel RCU interact with task-exit processing,
including preemptible RCU, Tasks RCU, and Tasks Trace RCU.  This commit
therefore adds testing of this interaction to rcutorture by adding
rcutorture.read_exit_burst and rcutorture.read_exit_delay kernel-boot
parameters.  These kernel parameters control the frequency and spacing
of special read-then-exit kthreads that are spawned.

SRCU disables interrupts to get a stable per-CPU pointer and then
acquires the spinlock which is in the per-CPU data structure. The
release uses spin_unlock_irqrestore(). While this is correct on a non-RT
kernel, this conflicts with the RT semantics because the spinlock is
converted to a 'sleeping' spinlock. Sleeping locks can obviously not be
acquired with interrupts disabled.

Acquire the per-CPU pointer `ssp-&gt;sda' without disabling preemption and
then acquire the spinlock_t of the per-CPU data structure. The lock will
ensure that the data is consistent.

The added call to check_init_srcu_struct() is now needed because a
statically defined srcu_struct may remain uninitialized until this
point and the newly introduced locking operation requires an initialized
spinlock_t.

This change was tested for four hours with 8*SRCU-N and 8*SRCU-P without
causing any warnings.
