Allocating a list_head structure that is almost never used, and, when
used, is used only during early boot (rcu_init() and earlier), is a bit
wasteful. This commit therefore eliminates that list_head in favor of
the one in the work_struct structure. This is safe because the work_struct
structure cannot be used until after rcu_init() returns.

Event tracing is moving to SRCU in order to take advantage of the fact
that SRCU may be safely used from idle and even offline CPUs. However,
event tracing can invoke call_srcu() very early in the boot process,
even before workqueue_init_early() is invoked (let alone rcu_init()).
Therefore, call_srcu()'s attempts to queue work fail miserably.
This commit therefore detects this situation, and refrains from attempting
to queue work before rcu_init() time, but does everything else that it
would have done, and in addition, adds the srcu_struct to a global list.
The rcu_init() function now invokes a new srcu_init() function, which
is empty if CONFIG_SRCU=n. Otherwise, srcu_init() queues work for
each srcu_struct on the list. This all happens early enough in boot
that there is but a single CPU with interrupts disabled, which allows
synchronization to be dispensed with.
Of course, the queued work won't actually be invoked until after
workqueue_init() is invoked, which happens shortly after the scheduler
is up and running. This means that although call_srcu() may be invoked
any time after per-CPU variables have been set up, there is still a very
narrow window when synchronize_srcu() won't work, and this window
extends from the time that the scheduler starts until the time that
workqueue_init() returns. This can be fixed in a manner similar to
the fix for synchronize_rcu_expedited() and friends, but until someone
actually needs to use synchronize_srcu() during this window, this fix
is added churn for no benefit.
Finally, note that Tree SRCU's new srcu_init() function invokes
queue_work() rather than the queue_delayed_work() function that is
invoked post-boot. The reason is that queue_delayed_work() will (as you
would expect) post a timer, and timers have not yet been initialized.
So use of queue_work() avoids the complaints about use of uninitialized
spinlocks that would otherwise result. Besides, some delay is already
provide by the aforementioned fact that the queued work won't actually
be invoked until after the scheduler is up and running.

There are macros for static initializer for the three out of four
possible notifier types, that are:
ATOMIC_NOTIFIER_HEAD()
BLOCKING_NOTIFIER_HEAD()
RAW_NOTIFIER_HEAD()
This patch provides a static initilizer for the forth type to make it
complete.

The rcu_segcblist structure provides quite a bit of functionality, and
Tiny SRCU needs almost none of it. So this commit replaces Tiny SRCU's
uses of rcu_segcblist with a simple singly linked list with tail pointer.
This change significantly reduces Tiny SRCU's memory footprint, more
than making up for the growth caused by the creation of rcu_segcblist.c

The call_srcu() docbook entry is currently in include/linux/srcu.h,
which causes needless processing for each include point. This commit
therefore moves this entry to kernel/rcu/srcutree.c, which the compiler
reads only once. In addition, the srcu_batches_completed() function is
used only within RCU and its torture-test suites. This commit therefore
also moves this function's declaration from include/linux/srcutiny.h,
include/linux/srcutree.h, and include/linux/srcuclassic.h to
kernel/rcu/rcu.h.

The include/linux/rcupdate.h file contains a number of definitions that
are used only to communicate between rcutorture, rcuperf, and the RCU code
itself. There is no point in having these definitions exposed globally
throughout the kernel, so this commit moves them to kernel/rcu/rcu.h.
This change has the added benefit of shrinking rcupdate.h.

In Tiny SRCU, __srcu_read_lock() is a trivial function, outweighed by
its EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), and on many architectures, its call sequence.
This commit therefore moves it to srcutiny.h so that it can be inlined.

In the past, SRCU was simple enough that there was little point in
making the rcutorture writer stall messages print the SRCU grace-period
number state. With the advent of Tree SRCU, this has changed. This
commit therefore makes Classic, Tiny, and Tree SRCU report this state
to rcutorture as needed.
