rcu: Warn on allegedly impossible rcu_read_unlock_special() from irq
After commit #10f39bb1b2c1 (rcu: protect __rcu_read_unlock() against
scheduler-using irq handlers), it is no longer possible to enter
the main body of rcu_read_lock_special() from an NMI, interrupt, or
softirq handler. In theory, this implies that the check for "in_irq()
|| in_serving_softirq()" must always fail, so that in theory this check
could be removed entirely.
In practice, this commit wraps this condition with a WARN_ON_ONCE().
If this warning never triggers, then the condition will be removed
entirely.
[ paulmck: And one way of triggering the WARN_ON() is if a scheduling
clock interrupt occurs in an RCU read-side critical section, setting
RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS, which is handled by rcu_read_unlock_special().
Updated this commit to return if only that bit was set. ]
