exit_rcu() tries to clean up the task rcu state when the task is exiting. It did it by calls __rcu_read_unlock().
Actually, calling rcu_read_unlock_special() is enough. This patch defer it to the rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() of the next schedule(). This patch prepares for the next patch which defers rcu_read_unlock_special() if irq is disabled when __rcu_read_unlock() is called. So __rcu_read_unlock() can't work here(it is irq-disabled here) if the next patch applied.
