rcu: Silence lockdep false positive for expedited grace periods
In a CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernel, synchronize_rcu_expedited()
acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in rcu_preempt_state, then invokes
synchronize_sched_expedited, which acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in
rcu_sched_state. There can be no deadlock because rcu_preempt_state
->exp_funnel_mutex acquisition always precedes that of rcu_sched_state.
But lockdep does not know that, so it gives false-positive splats.
This commit therefore associates a separate lock_class_key structure
with the rcu_sched_state structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex, allowing
lockdep to see the lock ordering, avoiding the false positives.

RCU's rcu_oom_notify() disables CPU hotplug in order to stabilize the
list of online CPUs, which it traverses. However, this is completely
pointless because smp_call_function_single() will quietly fail if invoked

Furthermore, in recent kernels, invoking get_online_cpus() from an OOM

bluetooth: fix list handling
Commit
835a6a2f8603 ("Bluetooth: Stop sabotaging list poisoning")
thought that the code was sabotaging the list poisoning when NULL'ing
out the list pointers and removed it.
But what was going on was that the bluetooth code was using NULL
pointers for the list as a way to mark it empty, and that commit just
broke it (and replaced the test with NULL with a "list_empty()" test on
a uninitialized list instead, breaking things even further).
So fix it all up to use the regular and real list_empty() handling
(which does not use NULL, but a pointer to itself), also making sure to
initialize the list properly (the previous NULL case was initialized
implicitly by the session being allocated with kzalloc())
