Commit "rcu: Create RCU-specific workqueues with rescuers" switched RCU
to using local workqueses and removed power efficiency flag from them.
This caused a performance regression that can be observed in Geekbench 5
after enabling CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT: score went down from
760/2500 to 620/2300 (single/multi core respectively).
Add WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT flag to avoid this regression.

After a dedicated grace-period workqueue was added to RCU in order to
benefit from rescuer threads, the relevant workers were moved to the new
workqueue away from system_power_efficient_wq. The old workqueue was
unbound, which is desirable for performance reasons. Making the workers
bound measurably regressed performance, so make them unbound again.

When there are no callbacks pending on an idle system, I noticed that
RCU softirq is continuously firing. During this the cpu_no_qs is set to
false, and core_needs_qs is set to true indefinitely. This causes
rcu_process_callbacks to be repeatedly called, even though the node
corresponding to the CPU has that CPU's mask bit cleared and the system
is idle. I believe the race is when such mask clearing is done during
idle CPU scan of the quiescent state forcing stage in the kthread
instead of the softirq. Since the rnp mask is cleared, but the flags on
the CPU's rdp are not cleared, the CPU thinks it still needs to report
to core RCU.
Cure this by clearing the core_needs_qs flag when the CPU detects that
its node is already updated which will avoid the unwanted softirq raises
to the benefit of real-time systems.
Test: Ran rcutorture for various tree RCU configs.

commit 5f98fd034ca6fd1ab8c91a3488968a0e9caaabf6 upstream.
Since the actual slab freeing is deferred when calling kvfree_rcu(), so
is the kmemleak_free() callback informing kmemleak of the object
deletion. From the perspective of the kvfree_rcu() caller, the object is
freed and it may remove any references to it. Since kmemleak does not
scan RCU internal data storing the pointer, it will report such objects
as leaks during the grace period.
Tell kmemleak to ignore such objects on the kvfree_call_rcu() path. Note
that the tiny RCU implementation does not have such issue since the
objects can be tracked from the rcu_ctrlblk structure.
