Subject[GIT PULL rcu/urgent] Fix two more 4.3 regressions
Hello, Ingo,

This series contains two small fixes for regressions introduced during
the past merge window:

1. Recent versions of gcc are fatally confused by use of a const
int variable for array bounds in inline functions, one of which
was introduced by 114b7fd4b (rcu: Create rcu_sync infrastructure).
For more information on the gcc bug, see:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67055#c13

This workaround for that gcc bug, courtesy of Oleg Nesterov,
simply substitutes the constant expression for the two uses of
the const int variable.

2. Commit 2cd6ffafec06 (rcu: Extend expedited funnel locking
to rcu_data structure) extended contention-reducing
funnel locking from the rcu_node structures to the rcu_data
structures, but failed to create a separate lock class for the
rcu_sched_data structures, which is needed due to the fact that
synchronize_rcu_expedited() invokes synchronize_sched_expedited().
In the absence of this separate lock class, lockdep can give
false-positive splats. This commit therefore creates the
required lock class so that lockdep can see that there is in
fact no deadlock.

Both fixes have been exposed to -next and 0day Test Robot testing.

These changes are available in the git repository at:
