[PATCH RT v2 1/3] rcu: Acquire RCU lock when disabling BHs

[Scott Wood <swood@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A plain local_bh_disable() is documented as creating an RCU critical
section, and (at least) rcutorture expects this to be the case.  However,
in_softirq() doesn't block a grace period on PREEMPT_RT, since RCU checks
preempt_count() directly.  Even if RCU were changed to check
in_softirq(), that wouldn't allow blocked BH disablers to be boosted.

Fix this by calling rcu_read_lock() from local_bh_disable(), and update
rcu_read_lock_bh_held() accordingly.

Another question is whether non-raw spinlocks are intended to create an
RCU read-side critical section due to implicit preempt disable.  If they
are, then we'd need to add rcu_read_lock() there as well since RT doesn't
disable preemption (and rcutorture should explicitly test with a
spinlock).  If not, the documentation should make that clear.
