Merge branch 'for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu
Pull RCU changes from Paul E. McKenney:
- Adding transitivity uniformly to rcu_node structure ->lock
acquisitions. (This is implemented by the first two commits
on top of v4.4-rc2 due to the pervasive nature of this change.)
- Documentation updates, including RCU requirements.
- Expedited grace-period changes.
- Miscellaneous fixes.
- Linked-list fixes, courtesy of KTSAN.
- Torture-test updates.
- Late-breaking fix to sysrq-generated crash.
