srcu: Use try-lock lockdep annotation for NMI-safe access.
[ Upstream commit 3c6b0c1c28184038d90dffe8eb542bedcb8ccf98 ]
It is claimed that srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() NMI-safe. However it
triggers a lockdep if used from NMI because lockdep expects a deadlock
since nothing disables NMIs while the lock is acquired.
This is because commit f0f44752f5f61 ("rcu: Annotate SRCU's update-side
lockdep dependencies") annotates synchronize_srcu() as a write lock
usage. This helps to detect a deadlocks such as
srcu_read_lock();
synchronize_srcu();
srcu_read_unlock();
The side effect is that the lock srcu_struct now has a USED usage in normal
contexts, so it conflicts with a USED_READ usage in NMI. But this shouldn't
cause a real deadlock because the write lock usage from synchronize_srcu()
is a fake one and only used for read/write deadlock detection.
Use a try-lock annotation for srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() to avoid lockdep
complains if used from NMI.
Fixes: f0f44752f5f6 ("rcu: Annotate SRCU's update-side lockdep dependencies")
