     NESTED interrupt for rcu_exp_handler();
       report exp qs! BUG!

Why would a quiescent state for the expedited grace period be reported
here?  This CPU is still in an RCU read-side critical section, isn't it?

							Thanx, Paul

Remember, the ->rcu_read_lock_nesting is -RCU_NEST_BIAS + 1 now.
In for rcu_exp_handler(), it goes into this branch:

        rdp->exp_deferred_qs = true;
        if (!(preempt_count() & (PREEMPT_MASK | SOFTIRQ_MASK)) ||
            WARN_ON_ONCE(rcu_dynticks_curr_cpu_in_eqs())) {
                rcu_preempt_deferred_qs(t);
        } else {

and rcu_preempt_deferred_qs(t) report the QS no matter what
the value of ->rcu_read_lock_nesting is if it is negative,
in other words, "-RCU_NEST_BIAS + 1" is not different from
"-RCU_NEST_BIAS"


     // exp GP completes and pointers are freed in other cpu
     some works with the pointers. BUG
    rcu_read_unlock();
   ->rcu_read_lock_nesting = 0;

Although rcu_sched_clock_irq() can be in nested interrupt,
there is no such similar bug since special.b.need_qs
can only be set when ->rcu_read_lock_nesting > 0
