Subject: [patch V2 6/9] rcu: Prevent false positive softirq warning on RT

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

Soft interrupt disabled sections can legitimately be preempted or schedule
out when blocking on a lock on RT enabled kernels so the RCU preempt check
warning has to be disabled for RT kernels.
