+ *
+ * Note that it is illegal to call this function while holding any
+ * lock that is acquired by a CPU-hotplug notifier.  Failing to
+ * observe this restriction will result in deadlock.
+ *
+ * This implementation can be thought of as an application of ticket
+ * locking to RCU, with sync_sched_expedited_started and
+ * sync_sched_expedited_done taking on the roles of the halves
+ * of the ticket-lock word.  Each task atomically increments
+ * sync_sched_expedited_started upon entry, snapshotting the old value,
+ * then attempts to stop all the CPUs.  If this succeeds, then each
+ * CPU will have executed a context switch, resulting in an RCU-sched
+ * grace period.  We are then done, so we use atomic_cmpxchg() to
+ * update sync_sched_expedited_done to match our snapshot -- but
+ * only if someone else has not already advanced past our snapshot.
+ *
+ * On the other hand, if try_stop_cpus() fails, we check the value
+ * of sync_sched_expedited_done.  If it has advanced past our
+ * initial snapshot, then someone else must have forced a grace period
+ * some time after we took our snapshot.  In this case, our work is
+ * done for us, and we can simply return.  Otherwise, we try again,
+ * but keep our initial snapshot for purposes of checking for someone
+ * doing our work for us.
+ *
+ * If we fail too many times in a row, we fall back to synchronize_sched().
