Subject: [PATCH rcu 0/4] CSD-lock diagnostics updates for v6.12

Hello!

This series adds following changes to the CSD-lock diagnostics (rebased on v6.11-rc1):

1.      Print large CSD-lock-hold time numbers as negatives, courtesy of Paul E. McKenney.

2.      Add api to provide an indication of ongoing CSD-lock stall, courtesy of Paul E. McKenney.

3.      Add a backoff mechanism for repeated CSD-lock diagnostic reports of same incident,
        courtesy of Paul E. McKenney.

4.      Print only local CPU info when sched_clock goes backward, courtesy of Rik van Riel.

As communicated earlier at [1], I will be submitting these changes as part of RCU tree,
due to dependency of RCU commit "7c72dedb0079 rcu: Summarize RCU CPU stall warnings during
CSD-lock stalls" [2] on these changes.

Git tree is at [2]
