Merge branch 'rcu/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu

Pull RCU fixes from Paul McKenney:
 "I must confess that this past merge window was not RCU's best showing.
  This series contains three more fixes for RCU regressions:

   1.   A fix to __DECLARE_TRACE_RCU() that causes it to act as an
        interrupt from idle rather than as a task switch from idle.
        This change is needed due to the recent use of _rcuidle()
        tracepoints that can be invoked from interrupt handlers as well
        as from idle.  Without this fix, invoking _rcuidle() tracepoints
        from interrupt handlers results in splats and (more seriously)
        confusion on RCU's part as to whether a given CPU is idle or not.
        This confusion can in turn result in too-short grace periods and
        therefore random memory corruption.

   2.   A fix to a subtle deadlock that could result due to RCU doing
        a wakeup while holding one of its rcu_node structure's locks.
        Although the probability of occurrence is low, it really
        does happen.  The fix, courtesy of Steven Rostedt, uses
        irq_work_queue() to avoid the deadlock.

   3.   A fix to a silent deadlock (invisible to lockdep) due to the
        interaction of timeouts posted by RCU debug code enabled by
        CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_DELAY=y, grace-period initialization, and CPU
        hotplug operations.  This will not occur in production kernels,
        but really does occur in randconfig testing.  Diagnosis courtesy
        of Steven Rostedt"
