Subject: [PATCH v3] rcu: Add per-CPU rcuc task info to RCU CPU stall warnings
Date:   Tue, 25 Jan 2022 10:47:44 +0800

When the 'use_softirq' be set zero, all RCU_SOFTIRQ processing
be moved to per-CPU rcuc kthreads, if the rcuc kthreads is
being starved, quiescent state can not report in time. the
RCU stall may be triggered. this commit adds a stack trace of
this CPU and dump rcuc kthreads stack to help analyze what
prevents rcuc kthreads from running.

 v1->v2:
 Avoid print anything when CPU is offline or idle.
 v2->v3:
 Make code more compact.
