This isn't a bug, but since rcu_read_lock_trace_held() already exists a
few lines up, would rcu_tasks_trace_assert_no_reader() (or
..._assert_not_held()) read better here than ..._assert_idle(), given
that "idle" already means the dynticks/RCU-not-watching state elsewhere
in RCU?

And would it be worth moving it above the "Placeholders to enable
stepwise transition" comment so it does not read as part of that group?
