Frederic Weisbecker 118e0d4a1b rcu/nocb: Make local rcu_nocb_lock_irqsave() safe against concurrent deoffloading
rcu_nocb_lock_irqsave() can be preempted between the call to
rcu_segcblist_is_offloaded() and the actual locking. This matters now
that rcu_core() is preemptible on PREEMPT_RT and the (de-)offloading
process can interrupt the softirq or the rcuc kthread.

As a result we may locklessly call into code that requires nocb locking.
In practice this is a problem while we accelerate callbacks on rcu_core().

Simply disabling interrupts before (instead of after) checking the NOCB
offload state fixes the issue.
