    rcu: Improve synchronize_rcu() diagnostics · 18fec7d8

    Although TREE_PREEMPT_RCU indirectly uses might_sleep() to detect illegal
    use of synchronize_sched() and synchronize_rcu_bh() from within an RCU
    read-side critical section, this might_sleep() check is bypassed when
    there is only a single CPU (for example, when running an SMP kernel on
    a single-CPU system).  This patch therefore adds a might_sleep() call
    to the rcu_blocking_is_gp() check that is unconditionally invoked from
    both synchronize_sched() and synchronize_rcu_bh().
