I found it, I backported this patch and the warning goes away (at least for
me). Can you add this and see if it makes the warning go away for you too?

Subject: [PATCH] sched,idle,rcu: Push rcu_idle deeper into the idle path

commit 1098582a0f6c4e8fd28da0a6305f9233d02c9c1d upstream.

Lots of things take locks, due to a wee bug, rcu_lockdep didn't notice
that the locking tracepoints were using RCU.

Push rcu_idle_{enter,exit}() as deep as possible into the idle paths,
this also resolves a lot of _rcuidle()/RCU_NONIDLE() usage.

Specifically, sched_clock_idle_wakeup_event() will use ktime which
will use seqlocks which will tickle lockdep, and
stop_critical_timings() uses lock.
