Nice!!!  I have queued this for v5.20 and for further testing and
review, thank you!

As usual, I could not resist the temptation to wordsmith the commit log,
so could you please check it in case I messed something up?

							Thanx, Paul

    rcu: Add irqs-disabled indicator to expedited RCU CPU stall warnings
    
    If a CPU has interrupts disabled continuously starting before the
    beginning of a given expedited RCU grace period, that CPU will not
    execute that grace period's IPI handler.  This will in turn mean
    that the ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp field in that CPU's rcu_data structure
    will continue to contain the boolean value false.
    
    Knowing whether or not a CPU has had interrupts disabled can be helpful
    when debugging an expedited RCU CPU stall warning, so this commit
    adds a "D" indicator expedited RCU CPU stall warnings that signifies
    that the corresponding CPU has had interrupts disabled throughout.
    
    This capability was tested as follows:
    
    runqemu kvm slirp nographic qemuparams="-m 4096 -smp 4"  bootparams=
    "isolcpus=2,3 nohz_full=2,3 rcu_nocbs=2,3 rcutree.dump_tree=1
    rcutorture.stall_cpu_holdoff=30 rcutorture.stall_cpu=40
    rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff=1 rcutorture.stall_cpu_block=0
    rcutorture.stall_no_softlockup=1" -d
    
    The rcu_torture_stall() function ran on CPU 1, which displays the "D"
    as expected given the rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff=1 module parameter:
    
    ............
    rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected expedited stalls on CPUs/tasks:
    { 1-...D } 26467 jiffies s: 13317 root: 0x1/.
    rcu: blocking rcu_node structures (internal RCU debug): l=1:0-1:0x2/.
    Task dump for CPU 1:
    task:rcu_torture_sta state:R  running task     stack:    0 pid:   76  ppid:     2 flags:0x00004008
