Subject: [PATCH rcu 02/11] rcuscale: Dump stacks of stalled rcu_scale_writer() instances

This commit improves debuggability by dumping the stacks of
rcu_scale_writer() instances that have not completed in a reasonable
timeframe.  These stacks are dumped remotely, but they will be accurate
in the thus-far common case where the stalled rcu_scale_writer() instances
are blocked.
