A read of the srcu_struct structure's -&gt;srcu_gp_seq field should not
need READ_ONCE() when that structure's -&gt;lock is held.  Except that this
lock is not always held when updating this field.  This commit therefore
acquires the lock around updates and removes a now-unneeded READ_ONCE().

This data race was reported by KCSAN.

The srcu_struct structure's -&gt;srcu_idx field is accessed locklessly,
so reads must use READ_ONCE().  This commit therefore adds the needed
READ_ONCE() invocation where it was missed.

This data race was reported by KCSAN.  Not appropriate for backporting
due to failure being unlikely.

The -&gt;srcu_last_gp_end field is accessed from any CPU at any time
by synchronize_srcu(), so non-initialization references need to use
READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE().  This commit therefore makes that change.

<title>rcu: Remove kfree_rcu() special casing and lazy-callback handling</title>

<content type='text'>
This commit removes kfree_rcu() special-casing and the lazy-callback
handling from Tree RCU.  It moves some of this special casing to Tiny RCU,
the removal of which will be the subject of later commits.

This results in a nice negative delta.

<title>srcu: Avoid srcutorture security-based pointer obfuscation</title>

<content type='text'>
Because pointer output is now obfuscated, and because what you really
want to know is whether or not the callback lists are empty, this commit
replaces the srcu_data structure's head callback pointer printout with
a single character that is "." is the callback list is empty or "C"
otherwise.

This is the only remaining user of rcu_segcblist_head(), so this
commit also removes this function's definition.  It also turns out that
rcu_segcblist_tail() no longer has any callers, so this commit removes
that function's definition while in the area.  They were both marked
"Interim", and their end has come.
