stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.3 commit 60f9dd96da9384e7c8990f83202ed6583e2c1cd8 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8LBQP

--------------------------------
commit b96e7a5fa0ba9cda32888e04f8f4bac42d49a7f8 upstream.
There are instances where rcu_cpu_stall_reset() is called when jiffies did not get a chance to update for a long time. Before jiffies is updated, the CPU stall detector can go off triggering false-positives where a just-started grace period appears to be ages old. In the past, we disabled stall detection in rcu_cpu_stall_reset() however this got changed [1]. This is resulting in false-positives in KGDB usecase [2].
Fix this by deferring the update of jiffies to the third run of the FQS loop. This is more robust, as, even if rcu_cpu_stall_reset() is called just before jiffies is read, we would end up pushing out the jiffies read by 3 more FQS loops. Meanwhile the CPU stall detection will be delayed and we will not get any false positives.

Tested with rcutorture.cpu_stall option as well to verify stall behavior with/without patch.
