Subject[PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 0/2] Fix RCU idle-exit problem and comment
Hello!

This series fixes a brown-paper-bag NMI self-deadlock bug located by
Thomas Gleixner and adds comments:

1. Don't acquire lock in NMI handler in rcu_nmi_enter_common().

2. Add comments marking transitions between RCU watching and not.

These pass light rcutorture testing, and seem like v5.8 material.

Thanx, Paul
