[PATCH tip/core/rcu 49/55] rcu: Detect illegal rcu dereference in extended quiescent state

["Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

Report that none of the rcu read lock maps are held while in an RCU
extended quiescent state (in this case, the RCU extended quiescent state
is dyntick-idle mode). This helps detect any use of rcu_dereference()
and friends from within dyntick-idle mode.
