rcu: Check for idle-loop entry while in RCU read-side critical section
The inner idle loop is an extended quiescent state for all flavors of RCU, but there have been recent bug involving use of RCU read-side primitives from within the idle loop. Therefore, this commit enlists lockdep-RCU to detect attempts to enter the inner idle loop while in an RCU read-side critical section, emitting a lockdep-RCU splat if so. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
