commit 3e61e95e2d095e308616cba4ffb640f95a480e01 upstream.

The callbacks processing time limit makes sure we are not exceeding a given amount of time executing the queue.

However its "continue" clause bypasses the cond_resched() call on rcuc and NOCB kthreads, delaying it until we reach the limit, which can be very long...

Make sure the scheduler has a higher priority than the time limit.

Motivation of backport: -----------------------

1. The cfcdef5e30469 ("rcu: Allow rcu_do_batch() to dynamically adjust batch sizes") broke the default behaviour of "offloading rcu callbacks" setup. In that scenario after each callback the caller context was used to check if it has to be rescheduled giving a CPU time for others. After that change an "offloaded" setup can switch to time-based RCU callbacks processing, what can be long for latency sensitive workloads and SCHED_FIFO processes, i.e. callbacks are invoked for a long time with keeping preemption off and without checking cond_resched().

2. Our devices which run Android and 5.10 kernel have some critical areas which are sensitive to latency. It is a low latency audio, 8k video, UI stack and so on. For example below is a trace that illustrates a delay of "irq/396-5-0072" RT task to complete IRQ processing:

The "irq/396-5-0072:12675" was delayed for ~3 milliseconds due to introduced side effect. Please note, on our Android devices we get ~70 000 callbacks registered to be invoked by the "rcuop/x" workers. This is during 1 seconds time interval and regular handset usage. Latencies bigger that 3 milliseconds affect our high-resolution audio streaming over the LDAC/Bluetooth stack.
