Pull RCU fix from Paul McKenney:
"Fix a regression caused by commit bf95b2bc3e ("rcu: Switch polled
grace-period APIs to ->gp_seq_polled"), which could incorrectly leave
interrupts enabled after an early-boot call to synchronize_rcu().
Such synchronize_rcu() calls must acquire leaf rcu_node locks in order
to properly interact with polled grace periods, but the code did not
take into account the possibility of synchronize_rcu() being invoked
from the portion of the boot sequence during which interrupts are
disabled.
This commit therefore switches the lock acquisition and release from
irq to irqsave/irqrestore"

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.
