Thanks a lot, Paul! :)
I reused the rcu_irq_enter_irqson() from RCU_NONIDLE to avoid this issue.
It works fine.
Tony, Could you like to give a tested-by if this patch works for you.
Sebastian,
May I keep your acked-by with new fixed patch, since the main thing remained? :)
Thanks everyone!

Subject: [PATCH] cpu_pm: replace raw_notifier to atomic_notifier
This patch replace a rwlock and raw notifier by atomic notifier which
protected by spin_lock and rcu.
The first to reason to have this replace is due to a 'scheduling while
atomic' bug of RT kernel on arm/arm64 platform. On arm/arm64, rwlock
cpu_pm_notifier_lock in cpu_pm cause a potential schedule after irq
disable in idle call chain:
cpu_startup_entry
cpu_idle_loop
local_irq_disable()
cpuidle_idle_call
call_cpuidle
cpuidle_enter
cpuidle_enter_state
->enter :arm_enter_idle_state
cpu_pm_enter/exit
CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER
read_lock(&cpu_pm_notifier_lock); <-- sleep in idle
__rt_spin_lock();
schedule();
The kernel panic is here:
[ 4.609601] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/1/0/0x00000002

Daniel Lezcano said this notification is needed on arm/arm64 platforms.
Sebastian suggested using atomic_notifier instead of rwlock, which is not
only removing the sleeping in idle, but also getting better latency
improvement.
Tony Lezcano found a miss use that rcu_read_lock used after rcu_idle_enter
Paul E. McKenney suggested trying RCU_NONIDLE.
Thanks everyone! :)
This patch passed Fengguang's 0day testing.
