while running ipmi, ipmi_smi_watcher_register() caused
a suspicious RCU usage warning.

It is safe because smi_watchers_mutex is locked and srcu_read_lock
has been used, so simply pass lockdep_is_held() to the
list_for_each_entry_rcu() to suppress this warning.

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.
