rcu: Fix unrecovered RCU user mode in syscall_trace_leave() On x86-64 syscall exit, 3 non exclusive events may happen looping in the following order: 1) Check if we need resched for user preemption, if so call schedule_user() 2) Check if we have pending signals, if so call do_notify_resume() 3) Check if we do syscall tracing, if so call syscall_trace_leave() However syscall_trace_leave() has been written assuming it directly follows the syscall and forget about the above possible 1st and 2nd steps. Now schedule_user() and do_notify_resume() exit in RCU user mode because they have most chances to resume userspace immediately and this avoids an rcu_user_enter() call in the syscall fast path. So by the time we call syscall_trace_leave(), we may well be in RCU user mode. To fix this up, simply call rcu_user_exit() in the beginning of this function. This fixes some reported RCU uses in extended quiescent state.
