[PATCH tip/core/rcu 16/40] rcu: Make RCU CPU stall warnings use ->gp_seq

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Jun 25 2018 - 20:09:32 EST


This commit makes the RCU CPU stall-warning code in print_other_cpu_stall(),
print_cpu_stall(), and check_cpu_stall() use ->gp_seq instead of ->gpnum
and ->completed.
