Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/52] Remove rcu_state pointers for v4.20/v5.0

Hello!

This commit does RCU-consolidation cleanups that get rid of pointers to
the sole remaining rcu_state structure:

1-40:	Remove the "rsp" parameter from numerous functions, given that
	the corresponding argument will always be &rcu_state.

41.	Remove rcu_data structure's ->rsp field, now that it always
	contains a pointer to rcu_state.

42.	Remove non-flavor-traversal rsp local variable from tree_plugin.h.

43.	Remove the for_each_rcu_flavor() flavor-traversal macro, given
	that there is now only ever one flavor to traverse.

44.	Simplify rcutorture_get_gp_data() based on there now being only
	one rcu_state structure.

45.	Restructure rcu_check_gp_kthread_starvation() based on there
	now being only one rcu_state structure.

46.	Restructure RCU CPU stall warnings based on there now being only
	one rcu_state structure.

47.	Restructure grace-period management code based on there now being
	only one rcu_state structure.

48.	Restructure callback registration/invocation code based on there
	now being only one rcu_state structure.

49.	Restructure quiescent-state and grace-period-nonstart code based
	on there now being only one rcu_state structure.

50.	Restructure rcu_barrier() based on there now being only one
	rcu_state structure.

51.	Restructure initialization code based on there now being only
	one rcu_state structure.

52.	Fix typo in force_qs_rnp()'s parameter's parameter, which was
	located by searching for "rsp".

							Thanx, Paul
