rcu: Dump memory object info if callback function is invalid
When a structure containing an RCU callback rhp is (incorrectly) freed
and reallocated after rhp is passed to call_rcu(), it is not unusual for
rhp->func to be set to NULL. This defeats the debugging prints used by
__call_rcu_common() in kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y,
which expect to identify the offending code using the identity of this
function.
And in kernels build without CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y, things
are even worse, as can be seen from this splat:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0
... ...
PC is at 0x0
LR is at rcu_do_batch+0x1c0/0x3b8
... ...
(rcu_do_batch) from (rcu_core+0x1d4/0x284)

(__irq_exit_rcu) from (irq_exit+0x8/0x10)
(irq_exit) from (__handle_domain_irq+0x74/0x9c)
(__handle_domain_irq) from (gic_handle_irq+0x8c/0x98)
(gic_handle_irq) from (__irq_svc+0x5c/0x94)
(__irq_svc) from (arch_cpu_idle+0x20/0x3c)
(arch_cpu_idle) from (default_idle_call+0x4c/0x78)
(default_idle_call) from (do_idle+0xf8/0x150)
(do_idle) from (cpu_startup_entry+0x18/0x20)
(cpu_startup_entry) from (0xc01530)
This commit therefore adds calls to mem_dump_obj(rhp) to output some
information, for example:
slab kmalloc-256 start ffff410c45019900 pointer offset 0 size 256
This provides the rough size of the memory block and the offset of the
rcu_head structure, which as least provides at least a few clues to help
locate the problem. If the problem is reproducible, additional slab
debugging can be enabled, for example, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y, which can
provide significantly more information.
