[PATCH 4/4] rcu: Use _full() API to debug synchronize_rcu()

From: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)
Date: Thu Jan 23 2025 - 13:59:33 EST


Switch for using of get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() and
poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() pair for debug a normal
synchronize_rcu() call.

Just using "not" full APIs to identify if a grace period
is passed or not might lead to a false kernel splat.
