In the last patch in this series, we are making lockdep register hooks onto the irq_{disable,enable} tracepoints. These tracepoints use the _rcuidle tracepoint variant. In this series we switch the _rcuidle tracepoint callers to use SRCU instead of sched-RCU. Inorder to dereference the pointer to the probe functions, we could call srcu_dereference, however this API will call back into lockdep to check if the lock is held *before* the lockdep probe hooks have a chance to run and annotate the IRQ enabled/disabled state.
For this reason we need a notrace variant of srcu_dereference since otherwise we get lockdep splats. This patch adds the needed srcu_dereference_notrace variant.
