The general rule that rcu_read_lock() held sections cannot voluntary sleep
does apply even on RT kernels. Though the substitution of spin/rw locks on
RT enabled kernels has to be exempt from that rule. On !RT a spin_lock()
can obviously nest inside a RCU read side critical section as the lock
acquisition is not going to block, but on RT this is not longer the case
due to the 'sleeping' spinlock substitution.
The RT patches contained a cheap hack to ignore the RCU nesting depth in
might_sleep() checks, which was a pragmatic but incorrect workaround.
Instead of generally ignoring the RCU nesting depth in __might_sleep() and
__might_resched() checks, pass the rcu_preempt_depth() via the offsets
argument to __might_resched() from spin/read/write_lock() which makes the
checks work correctly even in RCU read side critical sections.
The actual blocking on such a substituted lock within a RCU read side
critical section is already handled correctly in __schedule() by treating
it as a "preemption" of the RCU read side critical section.

__might_sleep() vs. ___might_sleep() is hard to distinguish. Aside of that
the three underscore variant is exposed to provide a checkpoint for
rescheduling points which are distinct from blocking points.
They are semantically a preemption point which means that scheduling is
state preserving. A real blocking operation, e.g. mutex_lock(), wait*(),
which cannot preserve a task state which is not equal to RUNNING.
While technically blocking on a "sleeping" spinlock in RT enabled kernels
falls into the voluntary scheduling category because it has to wait until
the contended spin/rw lock becomes available, the RT lock substitution code
can semantically be mapped to a voluntary preemption because the RT lock
substitution code and the scheduler are providing mechanisms to preserve
the task state and to take regular non-lock related wakeups into account.
Rename ___might_sleep() to __might_resched() to make the distinction of
these functions clear.

Add the static and runtime initializer mechanics to support the RT variant
of local_lock, which requires the lock type in the lockdep map to be set
to LD_LOCK_PERCPU.

Similar to rw_semaphores, on RT the rwlock substitution is not writer fair,
because it's not feasible to have a writer inherit its priority to
multiple readers. Readers blocked on a writer follow the normal rules of
priority inheritance. Like RT spinlocks, RT rwlocks are state preserving
across the slow lock operations (contended case).
