Paul E. McKenney 5cdfd174ea srcu: Check for in-flight callbacks in _cleanup_srcu_struct()
If someone fails to drain the corresponding SRCU callbacks (for
example, by failing to invoke srcu_barrier()) before invoking either
cleanup_srcu_struct() or cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced(), the resulting
diagnostic is an ambiguous use-after-free diagnostic, and even then
only if you are running something like KASAN.  This commit therefore
improves SRCU diagnostics by adding checks for in-flight callbacks at
_cleanup_srcu_struct() time.

Note that these diagnostics can still be defeated, for example, by
invoking call_srcu() concurrently with cleanup_srcu_struct().  Which is
a really bad idea, but sometimes all too easy to do.  But even then,
these diagnostics have at least some probability of catching the problem.
