I found the rcu tree implementation of rcu_is_watching() will check
this_cpu_ptr(&rcu_data.dynticks), and after that enable the preemption.

If preemption happened after that and before we disable here, there are
still possibility that the CPU changed and make the dynticks checking
invalid, isn't it?
