rcu: add a helper to report consolidated flavor QS 

[ Upstream commit 1a77557d48 ]

When under heavy load, network processing can run CPU-bound for many
tens of seconds. Even in preemptible kernels (non-RT kernel), this can
block RCU Tasks grace periods, which can cause trace-event removal to
take more than a minute, which is unacceptably long.

This commit therefore creates a new helper function that passes through
both RCU and RCU-Tasks quiescent states every 100 milliseconds. This
hard-coded value suffices for current workloads.

/**
* rcu_softirq_qs_periodic - Report RCU and RCU-Tasks quiescent states
* @old_ts: jiffies at start of processing.
*
* This helper is for long-running softirq handlers, such as NAPI threads in
* networking. The caller should initialize the variable passed in as @old_ts
* at the beginning of the softirq handler. When invoked frequently, this macro
* will invoke rcu_softirq_qs() every 100 milliseconds thereafter, which will
* provide both RCU and RCU-Tasks quiescent states. Note that this macro
* modifies its old_ts argument.
*
* Because regions of code that have disabled softirq act as RCU read-side
* critical sections, this macro should be invoked with softirq (and
* preemption) enabled.
*
* The macro is not needed when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is defined. RT kernels would
* have more chance to invoke schedule() calls and provide necessary quiescent
* states. As a contrast, calling cond_resched() only won't achieve the same
* effect because cond_resched() does not provide RCU-Tasks quiescent states.
