rcu: permit rcu_read_unlock() to be called while holding runqueue locks
Avoid calling into the scheduler while holding core RCU locks. This allows rcu_read_unlock() to be called while holding the runqueue locks, but only as long as there was no chance of the RCU read-side critical section having been preempted. (Otherwise, if RCU priority boosting is enabled, rcu_read_unlock() might call into the scheduler in order to unboost itself, which might allows self-deadlock on the runqueue locks within the scheduler.)
