Subject: [PATCH 0/8] rcu: Fix expedited GP deadlock (and cleanup some nocb stuff)

TREE04 can trigger a writer stall if run with memory pressure. This
is due to a circular dependency between waiting for expedited grace
period and polling on expedited grace period when workqueues go back
to mayday serialization.

Here is a proposal fix.

Frederic Weisbecker (8):
  rcu/nocb: Make IRQs disablement symetric
  rcu/nocb: Re-arrange call_rcu() NOCB specific code
  rcu/exp: Fix RCU expedited parallel grace period kworker allocation
    failure recovery
  rcu/exp: Handle RCU expedited grace period kworker allocation failure
  rcu: s/boost_kthread_mutex/kthread_mutex
  rcu/exp: Make parallel exp gp kworker per rcu node
  rcu/exp: Handle parallel exp gp kworkers affinity
  rcu/exp: Remove rcu_par_gp_wq
