Subject: [PATCH 197/414] rcu: Frob softirq test

Because irq_exit() does:

void irq_exit(void)
{
	account_system_vtime(current);
	trace_hardirq_exit();
	sub_preempt_count(IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET);
	if (!in_interrupt() && local_softirq_pending())
		invoke_softirq();

	...
}

Which triggers a wakeup, which uses RCU, now if the interrupted task has
t->rcu_read_unlock_special set, the rcu usage from the wakeup will end
up in rcu_read_unlock_special(). rcu_read_unlock_special() will test
for in_irq(), which will fail as we just decremented preempt_count
with IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET, and in_sering_softirq(), which for
PREEMPT_RT_FULL reads:

int in_serving_softirq(void)
{
	int res;

	preempt_disable();
	res = __get_cpu_var(local_softirq_runner) == current;
	preempt_enable();
	return res;
}

Which will thus also fail, resulting in the above wreckage.

The 'somewhat' ugly solution is to open-code the preempt_count() test
in rcu_read_unlock_special().

Also, we're not at all sure how ->rcu_read_unlock_special gets set
here... so this is very likely a bandaid and more thought is required.
