commit 9be39c445a41e458d53cf9a57d25dbfa4b74c970
Author: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

    rcu: Make RCU lockdep check the lockdep_recursion variable
    
    The lockdep facility temporarily disables lockdep checking by incrementing
    the current->lockdep_recursion variable.  Such disabling happens in NMIs
    and in other situations where lockdep might expect to recurse on itself.
    This patch therefore checks current->lockdep_recursion, disabling RCU
    lockdep splats when this variable is non-zero.  In addition, this patch
    removes the "likely()", as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.
