Subject: workqueue: Use normal rcu
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2013 15:26:54 +0200

There is no need for sched_rcu. The undocumented reason why sched_rcu
is used is to avoid a few explicit rcu_read_lock()/unlock() pairs by
abusing the fact that sched_rcu reader side critical sections are also
protected by preempt or irq disabled regions.
