Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/22] Miscellaneous fixes for v4.18

Hello!

This series provides miscellaneous fixes:

1.	Make non-production PREEMPT cond_resched() help Tasks RCU.

2.	Inline rcu_preempt_do_callback() into its sole caller, courtesy
	of Byungchul Park.

3.	Don't allocate rcu_nocb_mask if no one needs it, for example, in
	the case where there are no no-CBs CPUs.

4.	Call wake_nocb_leader_defer() with 'FORCE' when nocb_q_count is
	high, courtesy of Byungchul Park.

5.	Remove deprecated RCU debugfs tracing code, courtesy of Byungchul
	Park.

6.	Rename cond_resched_rcu_qs() to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() in
	order to reflect its actual current use case.

7.	Eliminate unused cond_resched_softirq() macro.

8.	Move __rcu_read_lock() and __rcu_read_unlock() to tree_plugin.h.

9.	Update rcu_bind_gp_kthread() header comment.

10.	Declare rcu_eqs_special_set() in public header, courtesy of
	Yury Norov.

11.	Add cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced().

12.	Avoid flush dependency in delete controller flow, which is
	included in this series due to its need for the shiny new
	cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced() function.

13.	Exclude near-simultaneous RCU CPU stall warnings.

14.	Add leaf-node macros to simplify code.

15.	Ensure whatisRCU.txt actually says what RCU is, courtesy of
	Paul Gortmaker.

16-21:	Debugging commits that may or may not be submitted for inclusion,
	depending on how helpful they prove to be.

22:	Use the proper lockdep annotation in dump_blkd_tasks(),
	courtesy of Boqun Feng.

							Thanx, Paul
