Subject: [PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 7/7] rcu: Quiet RCU-lockdep warnings involving interrupt disabling

From: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang0@...il.com>

RCU-lockdep will issue warnings given the following use pattern:

	rcu_read_lock();
	local_irq_disable();
	rcu_read_unlock();
	local_irq_enable();

However, this use pattern is legal except for the scheduler's runqueue
and priority-inheritance locks (and any other locks that the scheduler
might use during priority-inheritance operations).
