OK, let me make a test code against this issue. This may need a raw
fprobe test code (not a test case because it depends on that we can
trace the "arch_cpu_idle()"), but that test code won't work after
the "arch_cpu_idle()" is marked as noinstr (thus the test code will
only for the kernel which doesn't have the noinstr patch).
I want to add this check for the case if someone accidentally add
a function which is not covered by RCU and that is tracable by
fprobe (ftrace).
Thus this is a kind of preventative fix.

Thank you,
