[ Upstream commit 4a8e65b0c348e42107c64381e692e282900be361 ]
SRCU callbacks acceleration might fail if the preceding callbacks advance also fails. This can happen when the following steps are met:
1) The RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment has callbacks (say for gp_num 8) and the RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL also has callbacks (say for gp_num 12).
2) The grace period for RCU_WAIT_TAIL is observed as started but not yet completed so rcu_seq_current() returns 4 + SRCU_STATE_SCAN1 = 5.
3) This value is passed to rcu_segcblist_advance() which can't move any segment forward and fails.
4) srcu_gp_start_if_needed() still proceeds with callback acceleration. But then the call to rcu_seq_snap() observes the grace period for the RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment (gp_num 8) as completed and the subsequent one for the RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL segment as started (ie: 8 + SRCU_STATE_SCAN1 = 9) so it returns a snapshot of the next grace period, which is 16.
5) The value of 16 is passed to rcu_segcblist_accelerate() but the freshly enqueued callback in RCU_NEXT_TAIL can't move to RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL which already has callbacks for a previous grace period (gp_num = 12). So acceleration fails.
6) Note in all these steps, srcu_invoke_callbacks() hadn't had a chance to run srcu_invoke_callbacks().
Then some very bad outcome may happen if the following happens:
7) Some other CPU races and starts the grace period number 16 before the CPU handling previous steps had a chance. Therefore srcu_gp_start() isn't called on the latter sdp to fix the acceleration leak from previous steps with a new pair of call to advance/accelerate.
8) The grace period 16 completes and srcu_invoke_callbacks() is finally called. All the callbacks from previous grace periods (8 and 12) are correctly advanced and executed but callbacks in RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL still remain. Then rcu_segcblist_accelerate() is called with a snaphot of 20.
9) Since nothing started the grace period number 20, callbacks stay unhandled.

Fix this with taking the snapshot for acceleration _before_ the read of the current grace period number.
The only side effect of this solution is that callbacks advancing happen then _after_ the full barrier in rcu_seq_snap(). This is not a problem because that barrier only cares about:
1) Ordering accesses of the update side before call_srcu() so they don't bleed. 2) See all the accesses prior to the grace period of the current gp_num
The only things callbacks advancing need to be ordered against are carried by snp locking.
