rcu: permit rcu_read_unlock() to be called while holding runqueue locks

Browse source 
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.)
