Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 4/8] rcu: Remove preemption disabling from expedited CPU selection
Date
It turns out that it is queue_delayed_work_on() rather than
queue_work_on() that has difficulties when used concurrently with
CPU-hotplug removal operations. It is therefore unnecessary to protect
CPU identification and queue_work_on() with preempt_disable().

This commit therefore removes the preempt_disable() and preempt_enable()
from sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus(), which has the further benefit of reducing
the number of changes that must be maintained in the -rt patchset.
