[PATCH v3 4/7] rcu: handle unstable rdp in rcu_read_unlock_strict()

[Ankur Arora]

rcu_read_unlock_strict() can be called with preemption enabled
which can make for an unstable rdp and a racy norm value.

Fix this by dropping the preempt-count in __rcu_read_unlock()
after the call to rcu_read_unlock_strict(), adjusting the
preempt-count check appropriately.
