Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/24] Additional RCU-consolidation cleanups for
 v4.20/v5.0

Hello!

This series contains yet more cleanups for RCU flavor consolidation:

1.	Inline the now-trivial increment_cpu_stall_ticks() into its sole
	caller.

2.	Pull the rcu_gp_kthread() function's force-quiescent-state loop
	into a separate function

3.	Consolidate RCU-bh update-side function definitions, putting
	them all in one place at the end of rcupdate.h.

4.	Consolidate RCU-sched update-side function definitions, putting
	them all in one place at the end of rcupdate.h.

5.	Add RCU-bh and RCU-sched support for extended readers, so that
	rcutorture will mix and match all RCU read-side primitives.

6.	Stop testing RCU-bh and RCU-sched.

7-8.	Remove the "rcu_bh" and "sched" torture types.

9.	Remove now-unused rcutorture APIs.

10-21.	Clean up flavor-related definitions and comments.

22.	Remove !PREEMPT code from rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch(),
	since it now has meaning only in PREEMPT kernels.

23.	Define rcu_all_qs() only in !PREEMPT builds, since that is
	now the only place it is used.

24.	Inline _rcu_barrier() into its sole remaining caller.

							Thanx, Paul
