Subject: [PATCH] rcu: fix crash when reading rcudata debugfs node

With CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y set, reading the rcu/<rcu_flavor>/rcudata file
in debugfs will leads to a segmentation fault.

dmesg reports general protection fault with the following message:

In print_one_rcu_data(), the argument rdp is already a per_cpu pointer
(see r_start():66). Therefore, calling per_cpu() on
rdp->dynticks->rcu_qs_ctr will dereference invalid memory address.
Since rdp->dynticks points to the per_cpu struct rcu_dynticks, using
rdp->dynticks->rcu_qs_ctr directly will fix this problem.

Fixes: 9577df9a3122af08fff84b8a1a60dccf524a3891 ("rcu: Pull rcu_qs_ctr
into rcu_dynticks structure")
