rcu: use irq-safe locks
Some earlier tip/core/rcu patches caused RCU to incorrectly enable irqs too early in boot. This caused Yinghai's repeated-kexec testing to hit oopses, presumably due to so that device interrupts left over from the prior kernel instance (which would oops the newly booting kernel before it got a chance to reset said devices). This patch therefore converts all the local_irq_disable()s in rcuclassic.c to local_irq_save(). Besides, I never did like local_irq_disable() anyway. ;-) Signed-off-by: Paul E.
