Catch SRCU up to the other variants of RCU by making PROVE_RCU
complain if either srcu_read_lock() or srcu_read_lock_held() are
used from within dyntick-idle mode.

  * read-side critical section.  In absence of CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC,

+ * Note that if the CPU is in an extended quiescent state, for example,

+ * a CPU is effectively never in an RCU read-side critical section
+ * regardless of what RCU primitives it invokes.  This state of affairs
+ * is required -- RCU would otherwise need to periodically wake up
+ * dyntick-idle CPUs, which would defeat the whole purpose of dyntick-idle
