From: Ye Liu <liuye at kylinos.cn>
Introduce for_each_process_rculock(), for_each_thread_rculock() and
for_each_process_thread_rculock() macros that combine the existing
iteration macros with scoped_guard(rcu), so that the RCU read lock
is automatically acquired before iteration and released when the
loop exits — including via break, goto, or return.
The rest of the series converts manual rcu_read_lock()/
rcu_read_unlock() and guard(rcu)() pairs across mm/, kernel/, fs/,
lib/ and security/ to use the new macros.
Suggested by Michal Hocko for the oom_kill path [2].

Changes since v2 [3]:
- Split the kernel/ patch into per-subsystem patches, as the
combined patch could not be applied (Peter Zijlstra, Steven
Rostedt).
- Move changelog below the --- separator so it is excluded from
the commit message (Lorenzo Stoakes).
- Indent loop body in macro definitions to show scoped_guard
scope (Lorenzo Stoakes).
Changes since v1 [1]:
- Rename macros from *_rcu to *_rculock, as suggested by Steven
Rostedt and acked by Thomas Gleixner, to avoid confusion with
existing *_rcu() list iterators that expect the caller to hold
the RCU read lock.
- Improve the comment on for_each_process_thread_rculock() to
document that 'break' only exits the inner loop and 'goto' is
needed to exit both loops (Thomas Gleixner).
- Rename the stale 'unlock:' label to 'out:' in hung_task.c, as
noted by Günther Noack.
- Clarify in patch 4 that page_pgoff() is safe outside the RCU
read-side critical section (SJ Park).
- CC all relevant maintainers on every patch (Lorenzo Stoakes).
- Drop the mm: prefix from patch 1, as the macros are in
include/linux/sched/signal.h (Michal Hocko).
