[BUG] with rcu nocb, don't call wake up holding rnp->lock (was:rcu_read_lock() used illegally while idle!)

Paul, this looks to be a nocb rcu bug.

Notice the above call chain.
rcu_start_future_gp() is called with the rnp->lock held. Then it calls
rcu_start_gp_advance, which does a wakeup.
You can't do wakeups while holding the rnp->lock, as that would mean
that you could not do a rcu_read_unlock() while holding the rq lock, or
any lock that was taken while holding the rq lock. This is because...
(See below).

Notice the above trace.
perf took its own ctx->lock, which can be taken while holding the rq
lock. While holding this lock, it did a rcu_read_unlock(). The
perf_lock_task_context() basically looks like:
rcu_read_lock();
raw_spin_lock(ctx->lock);
rcu_read_unlock();
Now, what looks to have happened, is that we scheduled after taking that
first rcu_read_lock() but before taking the spin lock. When we scheduled
back in and took the ctx->lock, the following rcu_read_unlock()
triggered the "special" code.
The rcu_read_unlock_special() takes the rnp->lock, which gives us a
possible deadlock scenario.
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
---- ---- ----
rcu_nocb_kthread()
lock(rq->lock);
lock(ctx->lock);

wake_up();

rcu_read_unlock_special();
lock(rnp->lock);
lock(ctx->lock);

Here's one solution, to delay the wakeup via a irq_work: This is what
perf and ftrace use to perform wakeups in critical sections.
