Subject: [PATCH v3 rcu 02/11] srcu: Create an srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe()

On strict load-store architectures, the use of this_cpu_inc() by
srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock() is not NMI-safe in TREE SRCU.
To see this suppose that an NMI arrives in the middle of srcu_read_lock(),
just after it has read ->srcu_lock_count, but before it has written
the incremented value back to memory.  If that NMI handler also does
srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_lock() on that same srcu_struct structure,
then upon return from that NMI handler, the interrupted srcu_read_lock()
will overwrite the NMI handler's update to ->srcu_lock_count, but
leave unchanged the NMI handler's update by srcu_read_unlock() to
->srcu_unlock_count.

This can result in a too-short SRCU grace period, which can in turn
result in arbitrary memory corruption.

If the NMI handler instead interrupts the srcu_read_unlock(), this
can result in eternal SRCU grace periods, which is not much better.

This commit therefore creates a pair of new srcu_read_lock_nmisafe()
and srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe() functions, which allow SRCU readers in
both NMI handlers and in process and IRQ context.  It is bad practice
to mix the existing and the new _nmisafe() primitives on the same
srcu_struct structure.  Use one set or the other, not both.

Just to underline that "bad practice" point, using srcu_read_lock() at
process level and srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() in your NMI handler will not,
repeat NOT, work.  If you do not immediately understand why this is the
case, please review the earlier paragraphs in this commit log.
