Subject: next: suspicious RCU usage message since commit 'rcu: Remove
 superfluous versions of rcu_read_lock_sched_held()'

Hi,

I see the following log message when running a qemu test for 'beagle'
with omap2plus_defconfig.

===============================
[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
4.6.0-rc4-next-20160422 #1 Not tainted
-------------------------------
include/trace/events/power.h:328 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 = 0
RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
no locks held by swapper/0/0.

stack backtrace:
CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.6.0-rc4-next-20160422 #1

rcu_read_lock_sched_held()'. Bisect log is attached.

Thanks,
