Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 12/16] rcu: Fix backwards RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() in synchronize_rcu_tasks()

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

The RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() in synchronize_rcu_tasks() triggers if the
scheduler is active, which is backwards.  This commit therefore
negates the test.
