Linux Kernel CVE-2023-53558

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

rcu-tasks: Avoid pr_info() with spin lock in cblist_init_generic()

pr_info() is called with rtp->cbs_gbl_lock spin lock locked. Because pr_info() calls printk() that might sleep, this will result in BUG like below:

[ 0.206455] cblist_init_generic: Setting adjustable number of callback queues.

This patch moves pr_info() so that it is called without rtp->cbs_gbl_lock locked.
