[PATCH rcu 01/23] rcu: Dump rcuc kthread status for CPUs not reporting quiescent state

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Zqiang <qiang1.zhang@xxxxxxxxx>

If the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter is disabled, then it is
possible that a RCU CPU stall is due to the rcuc kthreads being starved of
CPU time.  There is currently no easy way to infer this from the RCU CPU
stall warning output.  This commit therefore adds a string of the form "
rcuc=%ld jiffies(starved)" to a given CPU's output if the corresponding
rcuc kthread has been starved for more than two seconds.

[ paulmck: Eliminate extraneous space characters. ]
