[GIT PULL] tasklets updates for v5.9-rc1

Hi Linus,

Please pull these tasklets updates for v5.9-rc1. These are the
infrastructure updates needed to support converting the tasklet API
to something more modern (and hopefully for removal further down the
road). There is a 300-patch series waiting in the wings to get set out
to subsystem maintainers, but these changes need to be present in the
kernel first. Since this has some treewide changes, I carried this series
for -next instead of paining Thomas with it in -tip, but it's got his Ack.
This is similar to the timer_struct modernization from a while back, but
not nearly as messy (I hope). :)

Thanks!

-Kees
