Peter Zijlstra 85d68222dd rcu: Break rcu_node_0 --> &rq->__lock order
Commit 851a723e45 ("sched: Always clear user_cpus_ptr in
do_set_cpus_allowed()") added a kfree() call to free any user
provided affinity mask, if present. It was changed later to use
kfree_rcu() in commit 9a5418bc48 ("sched/core: Use kfree_rcu()
in do_set_cpus_allowed()") to avoid a circular locking dependency
problem.

It turns out that even kfree_rcu() isn't safe for avoiding
circular locking problem. As reported by kernel test robot,
the following circular locking dependency now exists:

  &rdp->nocb_lock --> rcu_node_0 --> &rq->__lock

Solve this by breaking the rcu_node_0 --> &rq->__lock chain by moving
the resched_cpu() out from under rcu_node lock.

[paulmck: applied Z qiang feedback]

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.
