rcutorture: Avoid problematic critical section nesting on PREEMPT_RT
rcutorture is generating some nesting scenarios that are not compatible on PREEMPT_RT. For example: preempt_disable(); rcu_read_lock_bh(); preempt_enable(); rcu_read_unlock_bh(); The problem here is that on PREEMPT_RT the bottom halves have to be disabled and enabled in preemptible context. Reorder locking: start with BH locking and continue with then with disabling preemption or interrupts. In the unlocking do it reverse by first enabling interrupts and preemption and BH at the very end. Ensure that on PREEMPT_RT BH locking remains unchanged if in non-preemptible context.
