srcu: Use irq_work to start GP in tiny SRCU
Tiny SRCU's srcu_gp_start_if_needed() directly calls schedule_work(),
which acquires the workqueue pool->lock.
This causes a lockdep splat when call_srcu() is called with a scheduler
lock held, due to:
call_srcu() [holding pi_lock]
srcu_gp_start_if_needed()
schedule_work() -> pool->lock
workqueue_init() / create_worker() [holding pool->lock]
wake_up_process() -> try_to_wake_up() -> pi_lock
Also add irq_work_sync() to cleanup_srcu_struct() to prevent a
use-after-free if a queued irq_work fires after cleanup begins.
Tested with rcutorture SRCU-T and no lockdep warnings.
[ Thanks to Boqun for similar fix in patch "rcu: Use an intermediate irq_work
to start process_srcu()" ]
