Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 37/47] rcu: No interrupt disabling for rcu_prepare_for_idle()

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mckenney@...aro.org>

The rcu_prepare_for_idle() function is always called with interrupts
disabled, so there is no reason to disable interrupts again within
rcu_prepare_for_idle().  Therefore, this commit removes all of the
interrupt disabling, also removing a latent disabling-unbalance bug.
