Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 01/17] rcu: Fix detection of abruptly-ending stall

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mckenney@...aro.org>

The code that attempts to identify stalls that end just as we detect
them is broken by both flavors of initialization failure.  This commit
therefore properly initializes and computes the count of the number
of reasons why the RCU grace period is stalled.
