Subject: [PATCH 1/6] x86/entry: Clarify irq_{enter,exit}_rcu()

Because:

  irq_enter_rcu() includes lockdep_hardirq_enter()
  irq_exit_rcu() does *NOT* include lockdep_hardirq_exit()

Which resulted two 'stray' lockdep_hardirq_exit() calls in idtentry.h,
and me spending a long time trying to find the matching enters.
