And again looping in workqueues, despite the cond_resched_rcu_qs() there.
And the reason for that is that cond_resched_rcu_qs() currently only
provides quiescent states for tasks RCU.  I will put together something
that makes it work for other RCU flavors.

Not that this is likely to do much about Dave Jones's lockup, but one
thing at a time...
