Another good option is to simply ignore this warning, or drop
the rcu_read_lock before doing the alt-syrsq-c action.

After all, alt-sysrq-c is "crash the system, take a crash dump",
which is not an action the system ever returns from.

static struct sysrq_key_op sysrq_crash_op = {
        .handler        = sysrq_handle_crash,
        .help_msg       = "crash(c)",
        .action_msg     = "Trigger a crash",
        .enable_mask    = SYSRQ_ENABLE_DUMP,
};
