rcu: Reset CPU hints when reporting a quiescent state
In some cases, tracing shows that need_heavy_qs is still set even though urgent_qs was cleared upon reporting of a quiescent state. One such case is when the softirq reports that a CPU has passed quiescent state. Commit 671a6351 ("rcu: Avoid unnecessary softirq when system is idle") fixed a bug where core_needs_qs was not being cleared. In order to avoid running into similar situations with the urgent-grace-period flags, this commit causes rcu_disable_urgency_upon_qs(), previously rcu_disable_tick_upon_qs(), to clear the urgency hints, ->rcu_urgent_qs and ->rcu_need_heavy_qs. Note that it is possible for CPUs to go offline with these urgency hints still set. This is handled because rcu_disable_urgency_upon_qs() is also invoked during the online process. Because these hints can be cleared both by the corresponding CPU and by the grace-period kthread, this commit also adds a number of READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() calls. Tested overnight with rcutorture running for 60 minutes on all configurations of RCU.
