rcu/nocb: Add Safe checks for access offloaded rdp
For built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y kernels, Disable BH does not change the SOFTIRQ corresponding bits in preempt_count(), but change current->softirq_disable_cnt, this resulted in the following splat: WARNING: suspicious RCU usage kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h:36 Unsafe read of RCU_NOCB offloaded state! stack backtrace: CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 22 Comm: rcuc/0 Call Trace: [ 0.407907] <TASK> [ 0.407910] dump_stack_lvl+0xbb/0xd0 [ 0.407917] dump_stack+0x14/0x20 [ 0.407920] lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x133/0x210 [ 0.407932] rcu_rdp_is_offloaded+0x1c3/0x270 [ 0.407939] rcu_core+0x471/0x900 [ 0.407942] ? lockdep_hardirqs_on+0xd5/0x160 [ 0.407954] rcu_cpu_kthread+0x25f/0x870 [ 0.407959] ? __pfx_rcu_cpu_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 0.407966] smpboot_thread_fn+0x34c/0xa50 [ 0.407970] ? trace_preempt_on+0x54/0x120 [ 0.407977] ? __pfx_smpboot_thread_fn+0x10/0x10 [ 0.407982] kthread+0x40e/0x840 [ 0.407990] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 0.407994] ? rt_spin_unlock+0x4e/0xb0 [ 0.407997] ? rt_spin_unlock+0x4e/0xb0 [ 0.408000] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 0.408006] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 0.408011] ret_from_fork+0x40/0x70 [ 0.408013] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 0.408018] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 [ 0.408042] </TASK> Currently, triggering an rdp offloaded state change need the corresponding rdp's CPU goes offline, and at this time the rcuc kthreads has already in parking state. this means the corresponding rcuc kthreads can safely read offloaded state of rdp while it's corresponding cpu is online. This commit therefore add softirq_count() check for Preempt-RT kernels.
