Subject: suspicious RCU usage. (TLB flush tracepoints)

===============================
[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
3.16.0+ #34 Not tainted
-------------------------------
include/trace/events/tlb.h:35 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:


RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
no locks held by swapper/1/0.

stack backtrace:

Looks like this came from the addition of trace points in d17d8f9de
