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.
