Right now in your rcu/dev branch (without applying this series),in
kfree_rcu_drain_unlock() and the functions before and after it, it is
inconsistent.

Also in kfree_call_rcu(), it is:

	// Queue the object but don't yet schedule the batch.
	if (debug_rcu_head_queue(head)) {
		// Probable double kfree_rcu(), just leak.
		WARN_ONCE(1, "%s(): Double-freed call. rcu_head %p\n",
			  __func__, head);
		goto unlock_return;
	}

	/*
	 * Under high memory pressure GFP_NOWAIT can fail,
	 * in that case the emergency path is maintained.
	 */

Ok. Since this series touched kfree-related RCU code, converting all of the
kfree-related RCU code to "//" is Ok with me. Just wanted to keep it
consistent :)
