Thanks!

I guess the kernel test robot will catch this, but if you checkout
commit 79c95dc428ad ("arch/x86: Add ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS
Kconfig option") and build for x86_64, you will get:

x86_64-linux-gnu-ld: kernel/rcu/srcutree.o: in function `srcu_gp_start_if_needed':
srcutree.c:(.text+0x133a): undefined reference to `__srcu_read_lock_nmisafe'
x86_64-linux-gnu-ld: srcutree.c:(.text+0x1490): undefined reference to `__srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe'
x86_64-linux-gnu-ld: kernel/rcu/srcutree.o: in function `srcu_barrier':

x86_64-linux-gnu-ld: srcutree.c:(.text+0x1b38): undefined reference to `__srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe'

Note that this error is fixed with a later commit:

commit c2d158a284ab ("srcu: Debug NMI safety even on archs that don't
require it").

This does not affect what I am working on, so feel free to take care of
it whenever it fits your schedule.
