[ Upstream commit dc87740c8a6806bd2162bfb441770e4e53be5601 ]

If rcu_print_task_stall() is invoked on an rcu_node structure that does
not contain any tasks blocking the current grace period, it takes an
early exit that fails to release that rcu_node structure's lock.  This
results in a self-deadlock, which is detected by lockdep.

To reproduce this bug:

tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --allcpus --duration 3 --trust-make --configs "TREE03" --kconfig "CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y" --bootargs "rcutorture.stall_cpu=30 rcutorture.stall_cpu_block=1 rcutorture.fwd_progress=0 rcutorture.test_boost=0"

This will also result in other complaints, including RCU's scheduler
hook complaining about blocking rather than preemption and an rcutorture
writer stall.

Only a partial RCU CPU stall warning message will be printed because of
the self-deadlock.

This commit therefore releases the lock on the rcu_print_task_stall()
function's early exit path.
