rcu: Improve diagnostics for failed RCU grace-period start

Browse source

If a grace period fails to start (for example, because you commented
out the last two lines of rcu_accelerate_cbs_unlocked()), rcu_core()
will invoke rcu_check_gp_start_stall(), which will notice and complain.
However, this complaint is lacking crucial debugging information such
as when the last wakeup executed and what the value of ->gp_seq was at
that time.  This commit therefore removes the current pr_alert() from
rcu_check_gp_start_stall(), instead invoking show_rcu_gp_kthreads(),
which has been updated to print the needed information, which is collected
by rcu_gp_kthread_wake().
