Paul E. McKenney 463fbe4f2b rcu-tasks: Enclose task-list scan in rcu_read_lock()
commit f747c7e15d upstream.

The rcu_tasks_trace_postgp() function uses for_each_process_thread()
to scan the task list without the benefit of RCU read-side protection,
which can result in use-after-free errors on task_struct structures.
This error was missed because the TRACE01 rcutorture scenario enables
lockdep, but also builds with CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y.  In this situation,
preemption is disabled everywhere, so lockdep thinks everywhere can
be a legitimate RCU reader.  This commit therefore adds the needed
rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock().

Note that this bug can occur only after an RCU Tasks Trace CPU stall
warning, which by default only happens after a grace period has extended
for ten minutes (yes, not a typo, minutes).
