The current RCU CPU stall-warning code can say "INFO: Stall ended before state dump start" but then panic the system anyway. This commit therefore avoids panicking the system if the stall has already ended.
However, the sched_ext scheduler will still be ejected, as it might have been the cause of the almost stall. This can easily be changed if needed. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
