opp_get_notifier() uses find_device_opp(), which requires to
held rcu_read_lock. In order to keep the notifier-header
valid, we have added rcu_read_lock().

Hm, but if I'm seeing right, srcu_notifier_chain_register calls
mutex_lock(), which sleeps, so you can't do that under rcu_read_lock().

Well, to be honest, the opp locking isn't 100% clear to me, but IIUC
(1) things can be added but never removed, (2) opp_get_notifier doesn't
pin a refcount on what it returns, but it returns something which won't
be deleted.

So IIUC what's below is fine, bc it doesn't need to pin the nh for the
nh to remain valid outside of the rcu_read_lock.  If I'm wrong about
that, then the below is not sufficient.
