Further testing with false negatives suppressed by commit 293e2421fe25
("rcu: Remove superfluous versions of rcu_read_lock_sched_held()")
identified a few more unprotected uses of RCU from the idle loop.
Because RCU actively ignores idle-loop code (for energy-efficiency
reasons, among other things), using RCU from the idle loop can result
in too-short grace periods, in turn resulting in arbitrary misbehavior.

The affected function is rpm_suspend().

The resulting lockdep-RCU splat is as follows:

include/trace/events/rpm.h:63 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
