Subject: [PATCH V3] rcu: Update jiffies locally in rcu_cpu_stall_reset()

The KGDB initial breakpoint gets an rcu stall warning after commit
a80be428fbc1f1f3bc9ed924 ("rcu: Do not disable GP stall detection in
rcu_cpu_stall_reset()").

Currently rcu_cpu_stall_reset() set rcu_state.jiffies_stall to one check
period later, i.e. jiffies + rcu_jiffies_till_stall_check(). But jiffies
is only updated in the timer interrupt, so when kgdb_cpu_enter() begins
to run there may already be nearly one rcu check period after jiffies.
Since all interrupts are disabled during kgdb_cpu_enter(), jiffies will
not be updated. When kgdb_cpu_enter() returns, rcu_state.jiffies_stall
maybe already gets timeout.

We can set rcu_state.jiffies_stall to two rcu check periods later, e.g.
jiffies + (rcu_jiffies_till_stall_check() * 2) in rcu_cpu_stall_reset()
to avoid this problem. But this isn't a complete solution because kgdb
may take a very long time in irq disabled context.

Instead, update jiffies at the beginning of rcu_cpu_stall_reset() can
solve all kinds of problems [1]. But this causes a new problem because
updating jiffies is not NMI safe while rcu_cpu_stall_reset() may be used
in NMI context.

So we don't update the global jiffies, but only add the time 'delta' to
jiffies locally at the beginning of rcu_cpu_stall_reset() which has the
same effect.
