In other words, moving rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() deeper into
the scheduler is totally bogus, and I need to move it back out into the
original rcu_note_context_switch(), reverting 616c310e (Move PREEMPT_RCU
preemption to switch_to() invocation), correct?

Sigh. "It seemed like a good idea at the time."
