[PATCH 13/18] rcu: Assume rcu_report_dead() is always called locally

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Fri Oct 13 2023 - 08:00:30 EST


rcu_report_dead() has to be called locally by the CPU that is going to
exit the RCU state machine. Passing a cpu argument here is error-prone
and leaves the possibility for a racy remote call.

Use local access instead.
