    Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
    
     - Update Tasks RCU and Tasks Rude RCU description in Requirements.rst
       and clarify rcu_assign_pointer() and rcu_dereference() ordering
       properties
    
     - Add lockdep assertions for RCU readers, limit inline wakeups for
       callback-bypass synchronize_rcu(), add an
       rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay to reduce nohz_full OS jitter, add
       Uladzislau Rezki as RCU maintainer, and fix a subtle
       callback-migration memory-ordering issue
    
     - Remove a number of redundant memory barriers
    
     - Remove unnecessary bypass-list lock-contention mitigation, use
       parking API instead of open-coded ad-hoc equivalent, and upgrade
       obsolete comments
    
     - Revert avoidance of a deadlock that can no longer occur and properly
       synchronize Tasks Trace RCU checking of runqueues
    
     - Add tests for handling of double-call_rcu() bug, add missing
       MODULE_DESCRIPTION, and add a script that histograms the number of
       calls to RCU updaters
    
     - Fill out SRCU polled-grace-period API
