I was going to drop it from v5.4 but kept it last minute. I announced in
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200309171350.kjb3pdjazhxm2li2@linutronix.de

that the problem it fixes is not limited to RT so we need a solution for
both config switches. The current plan for local-locks is not to work
cross CPU because it breaks the local_irq_save() / preempt_disable()
replacement which is something this patch relies on.
The worker triggered via vmstat_update() is also blocked if the user
task runs at an elevated priority for longer time.
