[PATCH v2 2/2] rcu: Dump vmalloc memory info safely

[Joel Fernandes (Google)]

From: Zqiang <qiang.zhang1211@xxxxxxxxx>

Currently, for double invoke call_rcu(), will dump rcu_head objects
memory info, if the objects is not allocated from the slab allocator,
the vmalloc_dump_obj() will be invoke and the vmap_area_lock spinlock
need to be held, since the call_rcu() can be invoked in interrupt context,
therefore, there is a possibility of spinlock deadlock scenarios.

And in Preempt-RT kernel, the rcutorture test also trigger the following
lockdep warning:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48

The previous patch fixes this by using the deadlock-safe best-effort
version of find_vm_area. However, in case of failure print the fact that
the pointer was a vmalloc pointer so that we print at least something.
