rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplug

Browse source 
When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes
offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure
(due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical
sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure.  This
requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks().
However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only
thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a
quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy.  Unfortunately, the
old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a
grace-period stall given the following sequence of events:

1.	Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more
	than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one
	rcu_node structure.  (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set
	to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.)

2.	The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.

3.	A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node
	structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section
	-and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state
	for the current RCU grace period.  This will cause the task
	to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in
	particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the
	current grace period.

4.	Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node
	structure pass through a quiescent state.  However, the task is
	still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent
	states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy.
	Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask
	field are now zero.

5.	Each of the remaining CPUs go offline.  (The events in step
	#4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes
	through a quiescent state before going offline.)

6.	When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke
	rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the
	root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state
	up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent
	state is the bug).

	But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is
	already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty,
	force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure.

	Therefore, grace periods are now hung.

This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(),
calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and
invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and
__rcu_offline_cpu().  Invoking task_quiet() from
__rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node
hierarchy, fixing the bug.  This ends up requiring a separate
lock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this
patch also provides.
