AFAIU the goal here is to turn the guard(preempt_notrace)() into a
guard(rcu_notrace)() because the preempt-off critical sections don't
agree with BPF.

OK, got it, thank you!

The combination of BPF and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT certainly has provided at
least its share of entertainment, that is for sure.  ;-)

Is there a similar issue with CONFIG_PREEMPT_LAZY, given that in that
case rcu_read_unlock() maps to preempt_enable(), which also can invoke
the scheduler?
