rcu: Suppress false-positive offline-CPU lockdep-RCU splat
The rcu_lockdep_current_cpu_online() function currently checks only the
RCU-sched data structures to determine whether or not RCU believes that a
given CPU is offline. Unfortunately, there are multiple flavors of RCU,
which means that there is a short window of time during which the various
flavors disagree as to whether or not a given CPU is offline. This can
result in false-positive lockdep-RCU splats in which some other flavor
of RCU tries to do something based on its view that the CPU is online,
only to get hit with a lockdep-RCU splat because RCU-sched instead
believes that the CPU is offline.
This commit therefore changes rcu_lockdep_current_cpu_online() to scan
all RCU flavors and to consider a given CPU to be online if any of the
RCU flavors believe it to be online, thus preventing these false-positive
splats.
