RCU pull request for v6.1

This pull request contains the following branches:

doc.2022.08.31b: Documentation updates.  This is the first in a series
	from an ongoing review of the RCU documentation.  "Why are people
	thinking -that- about RCU?  Oh.  Because that is an entirely
	reasonable interpretation of its documentation."

fixes.2022.08.31b: Miscellaneous fixes.

kvfree.2022.08.31b: Improved memory allocation and heuristics.

nocb.2022.09.01a: Improve rcu_nocbs diagnostic output.

poll.2022.08.31b: Add full-sized polled RCU grace period state values.
	These are the same size as an rcu_head structure, which is double
	that of the traditional unsigned long state values that may still
	be obtained from et_state_synchronize_rcu().  The added size
	avoids missing overlapping grace periods.  This benefit is that
	call_rcu() can be replaced by polling, which can be attractive
	in situations where RCU-protected data is aged out of memory.

	Early in the series, the size of this state value is three
	unsigned longs.  Later in the series, the synchronize_rcu() and
	synchronize_rcu_expedited() fastpaths are reworked to permit
	the full state to be represented by only two unsigned longs.
	This reworking slows these two functions down in SMP kernels
	running either on single-CPU systems or on systems with all but
	one CPU offlined, but this should not be a significant problem.
	And if it somehow becomes a problem in some yet-as-unforeseen
	situations, three-value state values can be provided for only
	those situations.

	Finally, a pair of functions named same_state_synchronize_rcu()
	and same_state_synchronize_rcu_full() allow grace-period state
	values to be compared for equality.  This permits users to
	maintain lists of data structures having the same state value,
	removing the need for per-data-structure grace-period state
	values, thus decreasing memory footprint.

poll-srcu.2022.08.31b: Polled SRCU grace-period updates, including
	adding tests to rcutorture and reducing the incidence of Tiny
	SRCU grace-period-state counter wrap.

tasks.2022.08.31b: Improve Tasks RCU diagnostics and quiescent-state
	detection.
