Subject: [PATCH rcu 01/10] rcu: Fix rcu_read_unlock_strict() strict QS reporting

From: Zqiang <qiang1.zhang@...el.com>

Kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n and CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y
report the quiescent state directly from the outermost rcu_read_unlock().
However, the current CPU's rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm
might still be set, in which case rcu_report_qs_rdp() will exit early,
thus failing to report quiescent state.

This commit therefore causes rcu_read_unlock_strict() to clear
CPU's rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm field before invoking
rcu_report_qs_rdp().
