[PATCH 1/8] mm: introduce for_each_process_rcu and for_each_thread_rcu

[Ye Liu]

From: Ye Liu <liuye@xxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce for_each_process_rcu(), for_each_thread_rcu() and
for_each_process_thread_rcu() macros that acquire the RCU read lock
before the iteration starts and release it when the loop is left, so
that the RCU read-side critical section is scoped to the loop body
instead of an externally managed rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock()
pair.
