Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Let rcu_dump_task() be used without preemption disabled

From: Ryo Takakura <takakura@...inux.co.jp>

The commit 2d7f00b2f0130 ("rcu: Suppress smp_processor_id() complaint
in synchronize_rcu_expedited_wait()") disabled preemption around
dump_cpu_task() to suppress warning on its usage within preemtible context.

Calling dump_cpu_task() doesn't required to be in non-preemptible context
except for suppressing the smp_processor_id() warning.
As the smp_processor_id() is evaluated along with in_hardirq()
to check if it's in interrupt context, this patch removes the need
for its preemtion disablement by reordering the condition so that
smp_processor_id() only gets evaluated when it's in interrupt context.
