Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/4] rcu: suppress RCU lockdep warnings during early boot

RCU is used during very early boot, before RCU and lockdep have been
initialized.  So make the underlying primitives (rcu_read_lock_held(),
rcu_read_lock_bh_held(), rcu_read_lock_sched_held(), and
rcu_dereference_check()) check for early boot via the rcu_scheduler_active
flag.  This will suppress false positives.

Also introduce a debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() static inline helper
function, which tags the CONTINUE_PROVE_RCU case as likely(), as suggested
by Ingo Molnar.
