OK, now I'm confused.. PREEMPT_RCU would preempt in any case, so why bother
dropping rcu_read_lock() at all?

That is; the thing that makes sense to me is:

static void inline cond_resched_rcu_lock(void)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU
if (need_resched()) {
rcu_read_unlock();
cond_resched();
rcu_read_lock();
}
#endif /* CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU */
}

That would have an rcu_read_lock() break and voluntary preemption point for
non-preemptible RCU and not bother with the stuff for preemptible RCU.
