Hello!

The attached patch needs to move from -rt to mainline given preemptable
RCU.  This patch fixes SELinux code that implicitly assumes that
disabling preemption prevents an RCU grace period from completing,
an assumption that is valid for Classic RCU, but not necessarily for
preemptable RCU.  Explicit rcu_read_lock() calls are thus added.
