call_break_hook is called in atomic context (hard irq disabled), so replace
the sleepable lock to rcu lock and replace relevant list operations to rcu
version.

Replace list operations to rcu version.

Shouldn't there be a synchronize_rcu() somewhere?

So far kgdb is the only user of unregister_break_hook in mainline kernel.

Just read Documentation/RCU/checklist.txt, it says:

Note that synchronize_rcu() -only- guarantees to wait until
all currently executing rcu_read_lock()-protected RCU read-side critical sections complete.

For kgdb, the unregister is just called in kgdb_arch_exit by kgdb_unregister_io_module, which is called when rmmod kgdb module.

The break point handler is done synchronously. So, it sounds should be not a problem without calling synchronize_rcu().
