Paul E. McKenney fe15b50cde srcu: Allocate per-CPU data for DEFINE_SRCU() in modules
Adding DEFINE_SRCU() or DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() to a loadable module requires
that the size of the reserved region be increased, which is not something
we want to be doing all that often.  One approach would be to require
that loadable modules define an srcu_struct and invoke init_srcu_struct()
from their module_init function and cleanup_srcu_struct() from their
module_exit function.  However, this is more than a bit user unfriendly.

This commit therefore creates an ___srcu_struct_ptrs linker section,
and pointers to srcu_struct structures created by DEFINE_SRCU() and
DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() within a module are placed into that module's
___srcu_struct_ptrs section.  The required init_srcu_struct() and
cleanup_srcu_struct() functions are then automatically invoked as needed
when that module is loaded and unloaded, thus allowing modules to continue
to use DEFINE_SRCU() and DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() while avoiding the need
to increase the size of the reserved region.

Many of the algorithms and some of the code was cheerfully cherry-picked
from other code making use of linker sections, perhaps most notably from
tracepoints.  All bugs are nevertheless the sole property of the author.
