Merge branch 'rcu/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu

Pull RCU fix from Paul McKenney:
 "This is a fix for a regression in the v5.10 merge window, but it was
  reported quite late in the v5.10 process, plus generating and testing
  the fix took some time.

  The regression is due to commit 36dadef23f ("kprobes: Init kprobes
  in early_initcall") which on powerpc can use RCU Tasks before
  initialization, resulting in boot failures.

  The fix is straightforward, simply moving initialization of RCU Tasks
  before the early_initcall()s. The fix has been exposed to -next and
  kbuild test robot testing, and has been tested by the PowerPC guys"
