The commit eb1f00237a ("lockdep,trace: Expose tracepoints"), started to
expose us for tracepoints. This lead to the following RCU splat on an ARM64
Qcom board.

Following the path in pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend() from
psci_enter_domain_idle_state(), it seems like we end up using the RCU.
Therefore, let's simply silence the splat by informing the RCU about it
with RCU_NONIDLE.
Note that, this is a temporary solution. Instead we should strive to avoid
using RCU_NONIDLE (and similar), but rather push rcu_idle_enter|exit()
further down, closer to the arch specific code. However, as the CPU PM
notifiers are also using the RCU, additional rework is needed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
