Why not?

How urgent is this, as in what release do you need it in?  (Default at
this point being v4.14, but non-default available upon request.)

commit 2165b0a9bb37f0560f261986783e7c02bb37c353

    rcu/tracing: Set disable_rcu_irq_enter on rcu_eqs_exit()
    
    Set disable_rcu_irq_enter on not only rcu_eqs_enter_common() but also
    rcu_eqs_exit(), since rcu_eqs_exit() suffers from the same issue as was
    fixed for rcu_eqs_enter_common() by commit 03ecd3f48e57 ("rcu/tracing:
    Add rcu_disabled to denote when rcu_irq_enter() will not work").
