Subject: [PATCH 2/6] rcu: Don't redump the stalled CPU where RCU GP kthread last ran

From: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@...wei.com>

The stacks of all stalled CPUs will be dumped in rcu_dump_cpu_stacks().
If the CPU on where RCU GP kthread last ran is stalled, its stack does
not need to be dumped again. We can search the corresponding backtrace
based on the printed CPU ID.

For example:
[   87.328275] rcu: rcu_sched kthread starved for ... ->cpu=3  <--------|
... ...                                                                 |
