[PATCH tip/core/rcu 04/21] rcu: disable lockdep checking in RCU list-traversal primitives

[Paul E. McKenney]

The theory is that use of bare rcu_dereference() is more prone to error
than use of the RCU list-traversal primitives.  Therefore, disable lockdep
RCU read-side critical-section checking in these primitives for the time
being.  Once all of the rcu_dereference() uses have been dealt with, it
may be time to re-enable lockdep checking for the RCU list-traversal
primitives.
