rcu: Add sysrq rcu_node-dump capability
Life is hard if RCU manages to get stuck without triggering RCU CPU stall warnings or triggering the rcu_check_gp_start_stall() checks for failing to start a grace period. This commit therefore adds a boot-time-selectable sysrq key (commandeering "y") that allows manually dumping Tree RCU state. The new rcutree.sysrq_rcu kernel boot parameter must be set for this sysrq to be available. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
