Thanks!  My current builds apparently don't currently cover CPU_PM
builds, so I didn't see this :(.  Thanks for the report.

v4.1 does contain rcu_irq_enter(), and it looks like what we should be
using in 4.1 instead.

I'm thinking the below should be okay; I'll be standing up a proper cpu
hotplugging test to give it some runtime.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] PM / CPU: replace usage of rcu_irq_{enter,exit}_irqson()

Commit c50243950f97e ("PM / CPU: replace raw_notifier with
atomic_notifier (fixup)") intended to fix up RCU usage in idle, by
telling RCU to pay attention.

However, the cherry-pick back from rt-devel included the invocation of
the _irqson() variants of rcu_irq_{enter,exit}() API which doesn't exist
in 4.1.

For 4.1, just simply drop the _irqson() variant, and instead use
rcu_irq_{enter,exit}() directly instead.  This is safe, because in 4.1,
these functions internally disable interrupts.
