rcu-tasks: Use rcuwait for the rcu_tasks_kthread()
The waitqueue used by rcu_tasks_kthread() has always only one waiter. With a guaranteed only one waiter, this can be replaced with rcuwait which is smaller and simpler. With rcuwait based wake counterpart, the irqwork function (call_rcu_tasks_iw_wakeup()) can be invoked hardirq context because it is only a wake up and no sleeping locks are involved (unlike the wait_queue_head). As a side effect, this is also one piece of the puzzle to pass the RCU selftest at early boot on PREEMPT_RT. Replace wait_queue_head with rcuwait and let the irqwork run in hardirq context on PREEMPT_RT. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
