Good catch, thank you!
Queued with wordsmithing as follows. As always, please check to see
if I wordsmithed something out of existence.

rcu-tasks: Convert RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() to WARN_ONCE()
Kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y
attempt to emit a warning when the synchronize_rcu_tasks_generic()
function is called during early boot while the rcu_scheduler_active
variable is RCU_SCHEDULER_INACTIVE. However the warnings is not
actually be printed because the debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() returns
false, exactly because the rcu_scheduler_active variable is still equal
to RCU_SCHEDULER_INACTIVE.
This commit therefore replaces RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() with WARN_ONCE()
to force these warnings to actually be printed.
