next-20191122: qemu arm64: WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

[Anders Roxell]

Hi,

I'm seeing the following warning when I'm booting an arm64 allmodconfig
kernel [1] on linux-next; tag next-20191122, is this anything you've seen
before ?

The code seems to have introduced a long time ago and the warning was
added recently 28875945ba98 ("rcu: Add support for consolidated-RCU
reader checking").
