[PATCH -rcu dev 3/3] RFC: rcu/tree: Read dynticks_nmi_nesting in advance

[Joel Fernandes (Google)]

I really cannot explain this patch, but without it, the "else if" block
just doesn't execute thus causing the tick's dep mask to not be set and
causes the tick to be turned off.

I tried various _ONCE() macros but the only thing that works is this
patch.
