rcu: Don't acquire lock in NMI handler in rcu_nmi_enter_common()
The rcu_nmi_enter_common() function can be invoked both in interrupt and NMI handlers. If it is invoked from process context (as opposed to userspace or idle context) on a nohz_full CPU, it might acquire the CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock. Because this lock is held only with interrupts disabled, this is safe from an interrupt handler, but doing so from an NMI handler can result in self-deadlock. This commit therefore adds "irq" to the "if" condition so as to only acquire the ->lock from irq handlers or process context, never from an NMI handler.
