Merge tag 'rcu.next.v6.9' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/boqun/linux

Pull RCU updates from Boqun Feng:

 - Eliminate deadlocks involving do_exit() and RCU tasks, by Paul:
   Instead of SRCU read side critical sections, now a percpu list is
   used in do_exit() for scaning yet-to-exit tasks

 - Fix a deadlock due to the dependency between workqueue and RCU
   expedited grace period, reported by Anna-Maria Behnsen and Thomas
   Gleixner and fixed by Frederic: Now RCU expedited always uses its own
   kthread worker instead of a workqueue

 - RCU NOCB updates, code cleanups, unnecessary barrier removals and
   minor bug fixes

 - Maintain real-time response in rcu_tasks_postscan() and a minor fix
   for tasks trace quiescence check

 - Misc updates, comments and readibility improvement, boot time
   parameter for lazy RCU and rcutorture improvement

 - Documentation updates
