Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 13/15] rcu: Make rcu_idle_enter() rely on callers disabling irqs

From: "Peter Zijlstra (Intel)" <peterz@...radead.org>

All callers to rcu_idle_enter() have irqs disabled, so there is no
point in rcu_idle_enter disabling them again.  This commit therefore
replaces the irq disabling with a RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN().
