Subject: [PATCH 3/8] srcu: Use local_lock() for per-CPU struct srcu_data access

SRCU disables interrupts to get a stable per-CPU pointer and then
acquires the spinlock which is in the per-CPU data structure. The
release uses spin_unlock_irqrestore(). While this is correct on a non-RT
kernel, this conflicts with the RT semantics because the spinlock is
converted to a 'sleeping' spinlock. Sleeping locks can obviously not be
acquired with interrupts disabled.

Add a local lock and use the corresponding local lock operations.  Split
the restore into unlock and local_lock_irqrestore(). The local lock
operations map to local_irq_disable/enable() on a non-RT kernel. On a RT
kernel the local lock is substituted with a real per CPU lock which
serializes the access and guarantees CPU locality, but keeps the code
section preemptible. No functional change.
