[PATCH rcu 7/8] rcu-tasks: Make grace-period-age message human-readable

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Oct 19 2022 - 18:47:34 EST


This commit adds a few words to the informative message that appears
every ten seconds in RCU Tasks and RCU Tasks Trace grace periods.
This message currently reads as follows:

rcu_tasks_wait_gp: rcu_tasks grace period 1046 is 10088 jiffies old.

After this change, it provides additional context, instead reading
as follows:

rcu_tasks_wait_gp: rcu_tasks grace period number 1046 (since boot) is 10088 jiffies old.
