native_smp_send_reschedule() splat from rt_mutex_lock()?

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello!

Just moved ahead to v4.14-rc1, and I am seeing a native_smp_send_reschedule()
splat from rt_mutex_lock():

In theory, I could work around this by excluding CPU-hotplug operations
while doing RCU priority boosting, but in practice I am very much hoping
that there is a more reasonable solution out there...
