PATCH 1/1 rcu: Fix missing task information during rcu-preempt stall

The first item list_for_each_entry_continue(alist) iterates over is alist->next, rather than alist itself. Consequently, rcu_print_detail_task_stall_rnp() skips the task referenced by gp_tasks.

Use gp_tasks->prev as the argument to list_for_each_entry_continue() instead.

Good catch, thank you!

Queued for v4.2.

Thanx, Paul
