^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hmm, but it doesn't if PREEMPT_RCU? No, no, I do not pretend I understand
how it actually works ;) But, say, rcu_check_callbacks() can be called from
irq and since spin_lock() doesn't increment current->rcu_read_lock_nesting
this can lead to rcu_preempt_qs()?

Again, you can simplify this code and avoid for_each_process_thread() if
you use for_each_process() + find_lock_task_mm().
