Subject: [PATCH RT v3 1/5] rcu: Acquire RCU lock when disabling BHs

A plain local_bh_disable() is documented as creating an RCU critical
section, and (at least) rcutorture expects this to be the case.  However,
in_softirq() doesn't block a grace period on PREEMPT_RT, since RCU checks
preempt_count() directly.  Even if RCU were changed to check
in_softirq(), that wouldn't allow blocked BH disablers to be boosted.

Fix this by calling rcu_read_lock() from local_bh_disable(), and update
rcu_read_lock_bh_held() accordingly.

v3: Remove change to rcu_read_lock_bh_held(), and move debug portions
of rcu_read_[un]lock_bh() to separate functions
