Paul E. McKenney 276c410448 rcu-tasks: Split ->trc_reader_need_end
This commit splits ->trc_reader_need_end by using the rcu_special union.
This change permits readers to check to see if a memory barrier is
required without any added overhead in the common case where no such
barrier is required.  This commit also adds the read-side checking.
Later commits will add the machinery to properly set the new
->trc_reader_special.b.need_mb field.

This commit also makes rcu_read_unlock_trace_special() tolerate nested
read-side critical sections within interrupt and NMI handlers.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
