From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> Since the rethook_recycle() will involve the call_rcu() for reclaiming the rethook_instance, the rethook must be set up at the RCU available context (non idle). This rethook_recycle() in the rethook trampoline handler is inevitable, thus the RCU available check must be done before setting the rethook trampoline. This adds a rcu_is_watching() check in the rethook_try_get() so that it will return NULL if it is called when !rcu_is_watching().
