rcu: Make call_rcu() leak callbacks for debug-object errors
If someone does a duplicate call_rcu(), the worst thing the second call_rcu() could do would be to actually queue the callback the second time because doing so corrupts whatever list the callback was already queued on. This commit therefore makes __call_rcu() check the new return value from debug-objects and leak the callback upon error. This commit also substitutes rcu_leak_callback() for whatever callback function was previously in place in order to avoid freeing the callback out from under any readers that might still be referencing it. These changes increase the probability that the debug-objects error messages will actually make it somewhere visible. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
