RCU commits for 4.5

Hello, Ingo,

The changes in this series include the following:

1. Adding transitivity uniformly to rcu_node structure ->lock
acquisitions. (This is implemented by the first two commits on top of v4.4-rc2 due to the pervasive nature of this change.)

2. Documentation updates, including RCU requirements.

3. Expedited grace-period changes.

4. Miscellaneous fixes.

5. Linked-list fixes, courtesy of KTSAN.

6. Torture-test updates.

7. Late-breaking fix to sysrq-generated crash.
