Zqiang 36f8e30875 rcu/nocb: Add Safe checks for access offloaded rdp
For built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y kernels,
Disable BH does not change the SOFTIRQ corresponding bits in
preempt_count(), but change current->softirq_disable_cnt, this
resulted in the following splat:

WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h:36 Unsafe read of RCU_NOCB offloaded state!

Currently, triggering an rdp offloaded state change need the
corresponding rdp's CPU goes offline, and at this time the rcuc
kthreads has already in parking state. this means the corresponding
rcuc kthreads can safely read offloaded state of rdp while it's
corresponding cpu is online.

This commit therefore add softirq_count() check for
Preempt-RT kernels.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
