Making polled RCU grace periods account for expedited grace periods
required acquiring the leaf rcu_node structure's lock during early boot,
but after rcu_init() was called. This lock is irq-disabled, but the
code incorrectly assumes that irqs are always disabled when invoking
synchronize_rcu(). The exception is early boot before the scheduler has
started, which means that upon return from synchronize_rcu(), irqs will
be incorrectly enabled.
This commit fixes this bug by using irqsave/irqrestore locking primitives.

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 Restructured Text 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.
