TREE04 can trigger a writer stall if run with memory pressure. This
is due to a circular dependency between waiting for expedited grace
period and polling on expedited grace period when workqueues go back
to mayday serialization.
Here is a proposal fix.
Changes since v2 (no functional changes, just renames and reorganization):
_ Move nocb cleanups to their own series
_ Rename can_queue parameter to use_worker [2/7]
_ Better explain the rename of the mutex [3/7]
_ New commit with just code move to ease review [4/7]
_ Comment declaration of the new rnp->exp_worker field [5/7]
Thanks.

2.34.1
Under CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=y, the nodes initialization for expedited
grace periods is queued to a kworker. However if the allocation of that
kworker failed, the nodes initialization is performed synchronously by
the caller instead.
Now the check for kworker initialization failure relies on the kworker
pointer to be NULL while its value might actually encapsulate an
allocation failure error.
Make sure to handle this case.

This mutex is currently protecting per node boost kthreads creation and
affinity setting across CPU hotplug operations.
Since the expedited kworkers will soon be split per node as well, they
will be subject to the same concurrency constraints against hotplug.
Therefore their creation and affinity tuning operations will be grouped
with those of boost kthreads and then rely on the same mutex.
To prepare for that, generalize its name.

Just like is done for the kworker performing nodes initialization,
gracefully handle the possible allocation failure of the RCU expedited
grace period main kworker.
While at it perform a rename of the related checking functions to better
reflect the expedited specifics.

2.34.1
The expedited kthread worker performing the per node initialization is
going to be split into per node kthreads. As such, the future per node
kthread creation will need to be called from CPU hotplug callbacks
instead of an initcall, right beside the per node boost kthread
creation.
To prepare for that, move the kthread worker creation above
rcutree_prepare_cpu() as a first step to make the review smoother for
the upcoming modifications.
No intended functional change.

2.34.1
When CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=n, the expedited grace period per node
initialization is performed in parallel via workqueues (one work per
node).
However in CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=y, this per node initialization is
performed by a single kworker serializing each node initialization (one
work for all nodes).
The second part is certainly less scalable and efficient beyond a single
leaf node.
To improve this, expand this single kworker into per-node kworkers. This
new layout is eventually intended to remove the workqueues based
implementation since it will essentially now become duplicate code.

2.34.1
Affine the parallel expedited gp kworkers to their respective RCU node
in order to make them close to the cache their are playing with.
This reuses the boost kthreads machinery that probe into CPU hotplug
operations such that the kthreads become/stay affine to their respective
node as soon/long as they contain online CPUs. Otherwise and if the
current CPU going down was the last online on the leaf node, the related
kthread is affine to the housekeeping CPUs.
In the long run, this affinity VS CPU hotplug operation game should
probably be implemented at the generic kthread level.

Waiting for an expedited grace period and polling for an expedited
grace period both are operations that internally rely on the same
workqueue performing necessary asynchronous work.
However, a dependency chain is involved between those two operations,
as depicted below:
====== CPU 0 ======= ====== CPU 1 =======
synchronize_rcu_expedited()
exp_funnel_lock()
mutex_lock(&rcu_state.exp_mutex);
start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited
queue_work(rcu_gp_wq, &rnp->exp_poll_wq);
synchronize_rcu_expedited_queue_work()
queue_work(rcu_gp_wq, &rew->rew_work);
wait_event() // A, wait for &rew->rew_work completion
mutex_unlock() // B
//======> switch to kworker
sync_rcu_do_polled_gp() {
synchronize_rcu_expedited()
exp_funnel_lock()
mutex_lock(&rcu_state.exp_mutex); // C, wait B
....
} // D
Since workqueues are usually implemented on top of several kworkers
handling the queue concurrently, the above situation wouldn't deadlock
most of the time because A then doesn't depend on D. But in case of
memory stress, a single kworker may end up handling alone all the works
in a serialized way. In that case the above layout becomes a problem
because A then waits for D, closing a circular dependency:
A -> D -> C -> B -> A
This however only happens when CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=n. Indeed
synchronize_rcu_expedited() is otherwise implemented on top of a kthread
worker while polling still relies on rcu_gp_wq workqueue, breaking the
above circular dependency chain.
Fix this with making expedited grace period to always rely on kthread
worker. The workqueue based implementation is essentially a duplicate
anyway now that the per-node initialization is performed by per-node
kthread workers.
Meanwhile the CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD switch is still kept around to
manage the scheduler policy of these kthread workers.
