Subject: [WARNING] kernel/rcu/tree.c:1058 rcu_irq_enter+0x15/0x20

Hi Peter,

I ran my tests on a series of patches on top of 5.9-rc4, and hit the
following splat:

What looks to have happened was:

  cpuset_read_lock()
     lockdep called
       save stack trace
          preempt_disable()
             trace_preempt_disable();
                rcu_irq_enter_irqson();
                   local_irq_save() (ignored by lockdep due to recursion set)
                      rcu_irq_enter();
                         lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled() (no, because it was ignored by recursion being set)

                          BOOM!


Thoughts?

Note, the warning goes away with the below patch.
