rcu: Add debug checks to TREE_PREEMPT_RCU for premature grace periods

paulmck · Ingo Molnar · commit b0e165c035b1 · 2009-09-18T00:06:13.000+02:00
Check to make sure that there are no blocked tasks for the previous
grace period while initializing for the next grace period, verify
that rcu_preempt_qs() is given the correct CPU number and is never
called for an offline CPU.
