[PATCH] rcu-tasks: Make rude RCU-Tasks work well with CPU hotplug

From: Zqiang
Date: Fri Nov 25 2022 - 10:48:47 EST


Currently, for the case of num_online_cpus() <= 1, return directly,
indicates the end of current grace period and then release old data.
it's not accurate, for SMP system, when num_online_cpus() is equal
one, maybe another cpu that in offline process(after invoke
__cpu_disable()) is still in the rude RCU-Tasks critical section
holding the old data, this lead to memory corruption.

Therefore, this commit add cpus_read_lock/unlock() before executing
num_online_cpus().
