Merge branch 'rcu/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into rcu/urgent

Pull RCU fix from Paul E. McKenney:

" This series enables srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock() to be used from
  interrupt handlers, which fixes a bug in KVM's use of SRCU in delivery
  of interrupts to guest OSes. "
