[PATCH 4/8] rcu/exp: Handle RCU expedited grace period kworker allocation failure

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Fri Dec 08 2023 - 17:06:31 EST


Just like is done for the kworker performing nodes initialization,
gracefully handle the possible allocation failure of the RCU expedited
grace period main kworker.

While at it perform a rename of the related checking functions to better
reflect the expedited specifics.

Fixes: 9621fbee44df ("rcu: Move expedited grace period (GP) work to RT kthread_worker")
