Xuewen Yan 1a65a6d17c workqueue: Add rcu lock check at the end of work item execution
Currently the workqueue just checks the atomic and locking states after work
execution ends. However, sometimes, a work item may not unlock rcu after
acquiring rcu_read_lock(). And as a result, it would cause rcu stall, but
the rcu stall warning can not dump the work func, because the work has
finished.

In order to quickly discover those works that do not call rcu_read_unlock()
after rcu_read_lock(), add the rcu lock check.

Use rcu_preempt_depth() to check the work's rcu status. Normally, this value
is 0. If this value is bigger than 0, it means the work are still holding
rcu lock. If so, print err info and the work func.

tj: Reworded the description for clarity. Minor formatting tweak.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
