rcu: priority boosting for TINY_PREEMPT_RCU

Add priority boosting, but only for TINY_PREEMPT_RCU.  This is enabled
by the default-off RCU_BOOST kernel parameter.  The priority to which to
boost preempted RCU readers is controlled by the RCU_BOOST_PRIO kernel
parameter (defaulting to real-time priority 1) and the time to wait
before boosting the readers blocking a given grace period is controlled
by the RCU_BOOST_DELAY kernel parameter (defaulting to 500 milliseconds).

config RCU_BOOST
bool "Enable RCU priority boosting"
depends on RT_MUTEXES && TINY_PREEMPT_RCU
default n
help
This option boosts the priority of preempted RCU readers that
block the current preemptible RCU grace period for too long.
This option also prevents heavy loads from blocking RCU
callback invocation for all flavors of RCU.
Say Y here if you are working with real-time apps or heavy loads
Say N here if you are unsure.
config RCU_BOOST_PRIO
int "Real-time priority to boost RCU readers to"
range 1 99
depends on RCU_BOOST
default 1
help
This option specifies the real-time priority to which preempted
RCU readers are to be boosted. If you are working with CPU-bound
real-time applications, you should specify a priority higher then
the highest-priority CPU-bound application.
Specify the real-time priority, or take the default if unsure.
config RCU_BOOST_DELAY
int "Milliseconds to delay boosting after RCU grace-period start"
range 0 3000
depends on RCU_BOOST
default 500
help
This option specifies the time to wait after the beginning of
a given grace period before priority-boosting preempted RCU
readers blocking that grace period. Note that any RCU reader
blocking an expedited RCU grace period is boosted immediately.
Accept the default if unsure.
