Paul E. McKenney 6aa9e78d6e FROMGIT: rcu: Allow expedited RCU grace periods on incoming CPUs ...

Although it is usually safe to invoke synchronize_rcu_expedited() from a
preemption-enabled CPU-hotplug notifier, if it is invoked from a notifier
between CPUHP_AP_RCUTREE_ONLINE and CPUHP_AP_ACTIVE, its attempts to
invoke a workqueue handler will hang due to RCU waiting on a CPU that
the scheduler is not paying attention to.  This commit therefore expands
use of the existing workqueue-independent synchronize_rcu_expedited()
from early boot to also include CPUs that are being hotplugged.
