Yes, it's very close to what I have prototyped locally. With one very minor
detail below:

You might want to fold the line above into the first check like this,
considering that doing the rcu_irq_enter_irqson() earlier should not
matter, and I expect it to remove a branch from the probe:

rcu_watching = rcu_is_watching();

if (!rcu_watching) {
        if (in_nmi())
                return;
        rcu_irq_enter_irqson();
}

Thanks!
