[PATCH rcu 02/12] rcu: Avoid tracing a few functions executed in stop machine

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Patrick Wang <patrick.wang.shcn@xxxxxxxxx>

Stop-machine recently started calling additional functions while waiting:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Former stop machine wait loop:
do {
    cpu_relax(); => macro
    ...
} while (curstate != STOPMACHINE_EXIT);
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Current stop machine wait loop:
do {
    stop_machine_yield(cpumask); => function (notraced)
    ...
    touch_nmi_watchdog(); => function (notraced, inside calls also notraced)
    ...
    rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle(); => function (notraced, inside calls traced)
} while (curstate != MULTI_STOP_EXIT);
------------------------------------------------------------------

These functions (and the functions that they call) must be marked
notrace to prevent them from being updated while they are executing.
The consequences of failing to mark these functions can be severe:

  rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:

This commit therefore marks these functions notrace:
 rcu_preempt_deferred_qs()
 rcu_preempt_need_deferred_qs()
 rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore()
