Sorry for not being clear here.

rcu_read_lock() does:
|         __rcu_read_lock();
|         __acquire(RCU);
|         rcu_lock_acquire(&rcu_lock_map);
|         RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN(!rcu_is_watching(),
|                          "rcu_read_lock() used illegally while idle");

__acquire() is removed removed by cpp.
That RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN is doing the same thing as above and redundant.
Am I right to assume that you consider
	rcu_lock_acquire(&rcu_bh_lock_map);

redundant because the only user of that is also checking for
rcu_lock_map?
