rcu: Make TASKS_RCU handle tasks that are almost done exiting
Once a task has passed exit_notify() in the do_exit() code path, it
is no longer on the task lists, and is therefore no longer visible
to rcu_tasks_kthread(). This means that an almost-exited task might
be preempted while within a trampoline, and this task won't be waited
on by rcu_tasks_kthread(). This commit fixes this bug by adding an
srcu_struct. An exiting task does srcu_read_lock() just before calling
exit_notify(), and does the corresponding srcu_read_unlock() after
doing the final preempt_disable(). This means that rcu_tasks_kthread()
can do synchronize_srcu() to wait for all mostly-exited tasks to reach
their final preempt_disable() region, and then use synchronize_sched()
to wait for those tasks to finish exiting.
