Hello!

This patch fixes three RCU lockdep issues:

1.	Makes rcu_read_lock_sched_held() correctly handle !PREEMPT
	kernels.

2.	Suppresses __mpol_dup() false positive.

3.	Converts a pair of rcu_dereference() calls in
	ftrace_perf_buf_prepare() to rcu_dereference_sched().

There are probably more where these came from.  ;-)

							Thanx, Paul
