[PATCH v3 1/3] rcu/exp: Use NMI to get the backtrace of cpu_curr(other_cpu) first

From: Zhen Lei
Date: Sat Jul 30 2022 - 06:24:30 EST


The backtrace of cpu_curr(other_cpu) is unwinded based on the 'fp' saved
during its last switch-out. For the most part, it's out of date. So try
to use NMI to get the backtrace first, just like those functions in
"tree_stall.h" did. Such as rcu_dump_cpu_stacks().
