Ah, thank you for the info! Would this patch do the trick?
Thanx, Paul

commit 4182d416309b11d16e882ab637ab11cecef0bddc

sched: Replace call_rcu_sched() with call_rcu()
Now that call_rcu()'s callback is not invoked until after all
preempt-disable regions of code have completed (in addition to explicitly
marked RCU read-side critical sections), call_rcu() can be used in place
of call_rcu_sched(). This commit therefore makes that change.
While in the area, this commit also updates an outdated header comment
for for_each_domain().
