Very good, I have queued the patch below. I left out the removal of
the export as I need to work out why the export was there. If it turns
out not to be needed, I will remove the related ones as well.
Fair enough?

rcu: Make rcu_idle_enter() rely on callers disabling irqs
All callers to rcu_idle_enter() have irqs disabled, so there is no
point in rcu_idle_enter disabling them again. This commit therefore
replaces the irq disabling with a RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN().
