    rcu: Improve diagnostics for blocked critical sections in irq · d24209bb

    If an RCU read-side critical section occurs within an interrupt handler
    or a softirq handler, it cannot have been preempted.  Therefore, there is
    a check in rcu_read_unlock_special() checking for this error.  However,
    when this check triggers, it lacks diagnostic information.  This commit
    therefore moves rcu_read_unlock()'s lockdep annotation to follow the
    call to __rcu_read_unlock() and changes rcu_read_unlock_special()'s
    WARN_ON_ONCE() to an lockdep_rcu_suspicious() in order to locate where
    the offending RCU read-side critical section began.  In addition, the
    value of the ->rcu_read_unlock_special field is printed.
