rcu: Make call_rcu_tasks() tolerate first call with irqs disabled
Currently, if the very first call to call_rcu_tasks() has irqs disabled, it will create the rcu_tasks_kthread with irqs disabled, which will result in a splat in the memory allocator, which kthread_run() invokes with the expectation that irqs are enabled. This commit fixes this problem by deferring kthread creation if called with irqs disabled. The first call to call_rcu_tasks() that has irqs enabled will create the kthread. This bug was detected by rcutorture changes that were motivated by Iftekhar Ahmed's mutation-testing efforts. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
