All callers should still have RCU enabled.

IIUC with that true we should be able to drop the RCU_NONIDLE() from
drivers/perf/arm_pmu.c, as we only needed that for an invocation via a pm
notifier.

I should be able to give that a spin on some hardware.

To make this easier to debug, is it worth adding an assertion that RCU is
watching here? e.g.

	RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN(!rcu_is_watching(),
			 "cpu_pm_notify() used illegally from EQS");

... and likewise here?

Thanks,

My understanding is that rcu_read_lock() implies something along those
lines when PROVE_RCU.
