Subject: [PATCH 4.16 36/68] block: Change a rcu_read_{lock,unlock}_sched() pair into rcu_read_{lock,unlock}()

4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@....com>

commit 818e0fa293ca836eba515615c64680ea916fd7cd upstream.

scsi_device_quiesce() uses synchronize_rcu() to guarantee that the
effect of blk_set_preempt_only() will be visible for percpu_ref_tryget()
calls that occur after the queue unfreeze by using the approach
explained in https://lwn.net/Articles/573497/. The rcu read lock and
unlock calls in blk_queue_enter() form a pair with the synchronize_rcu()
call in scsi_device_quiesce(). Both scsi_device_quiesce() and
blk_queue_enter() must either use regular RCU or RCU-sched.
Since neither the RCU-protected code in blk_queue_enter() nor
blk_queue_usage_counter_release() sleeps, regular RCU protection
is sufficient. Note: scsi_device_quiesce() does not have to be
modified since it already uses synchronize_rcu().
