Paul E. McKenney aaaad0bfac rcu: Flag need for rcu_node_tree.h and rcu_segcblist.h visibility
The rcu_node_tree.h and rcu_segcblist.h header files in the include/linux
directory might appear at first sight to be internal to the RCU
implementation.  However, the definitions in these files are needed to
determine the size of TREE SRCU's srcu_struct structure, so they must
be externally visible, which is why they live in include/linux.

This commit adds comments to this effect to those files.

Paul E. McKenney 2b34c43cc1 srcu: Move rcu_init_levelspread() to rcu_tree_node.h
This commit moves the rcu_init_levelspread() function from
kernel/rcu/tree.c to kernel/rcu/rcu.h so that SRCU can access it.  This is
another step towards enabling SRCU to create its own combining tree.
This commit is code-movement only, give or take knock-on adjustments.

Paul E. McKenney f2425b4efb srcu: Move combining-tree definitions for SRCU's benefit
This commit moves the C preprocessor code that defines the default shape
of the rcu_node combining tree to a new include/linux/rcu_node_tree.h
file as a first step towards enabling SRCU to create its own combining
tree, which in turn enables SRCU to implement per-CPU callback handling,
thus avoiding contention on the lock currently guarding the single list
of callbacks.  Note that users of SRCU still need to know the size of
the srcu_struct structure, hence include/linux rather than kernel/rcu.

This commit is code-movement only.
