Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 10/16] rcu: Make rcu_is_watching() really notrace

From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@...mgrid.com>

Although rcu_is_watching() is marked notrace, it invokes preempt_disable()
and preempt_enable(), both of which can be traced.  This defeats the
purpose of the notrace on rcu_is_watching(), so this commit substitutes
preempt_disable_notrace() and preempt_enable_notrace().
