Back when there were multiple flavors of RCU, it was necessary to separately count lazy and non-lazy callbacks for each CPU. These counts were used in CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ kernels to determine how long a newly idle CPU should be allowed to sleep before handling its RCU callbacks. But now that there is only one flavor, the callback counts for a given CPU's sole rcu_data structure are the counts for that CPU. This commit therefore removes the rcu_data structure's ->nonlazy_posted and ->nonlazy_posted_snap fields, the rcu_idle_count_callbacks_posted() and rcu_cpu_has_callbacks() functions, repurposes the rcu_data structure's ->all_lazy field to record the laziness state at the beginning of the latest idle sojourn, and modifies CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ RCU CPU stall warnings accordingly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
