3.16.48-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 49f5903b473c5f63f3b57856d1bd4593db0a2eef upstream.
Currently, __srcu_read_lock() cannot be invoked from restricted
environments because it contains calls to preempt_disable() and
preempt_enable(), both of which can invoke lockdep, which is a bad
idea in some restricted execution modes. This commit therefore moves
the preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() from __srcu_read_lock()
to srcu_read_lock(). It also inserts the preempt_disable() and
preempt_enable() around the call to __srcu_read_lock() in do_exit().

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
- Drop changes in do_exit()
- Adjust context]
