I coded up the "no irq_safe" version but lockdep complains loudly about
it:

	BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at drivers/base/power/runtime.c:1111

Now that I have a reliable reproducer, it turns out the original patch
in this thread also has problems and causes a WARN from RCU.  The
version I have now that seems to work and doesn't cause any dmesg
complaints is below, but I'm really not sure if this is considered an
acceptable use of schedule_rtlock() (I suspect this also fails to
compile without CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT since schedule_rtlock() isn't declared
in that case).
