Hi Paul & Linus

I originally considered adding the test in rcu_read_lock_bh_held() too,
but thought (wrongly) :

	"rcu_read_unlock_bh() doesnt block hard IRQ, thus
	 rcu_read_lock_bh_held() should not test hard irq."

I remember anyway my first patch was wrong, since I was not using
irqs_disabled() but in_irq()

Thanks !
