[PATCH rcu 10/32] rcu-tasks: RCU Tasks Trace grace-period kthread has implicit QS

[Paul E. McKenney]

Because the task driving the grace-period kthread is in quiescent state
throughout, this commit excludes it from the list of tasks from which
a quiescent state is needed.

This does mean that attaching a sleepable BPF program to function in
kernel/rcu/tasks.h is a bad idea, by the way.
