Ever since the following commit:

	5a41344a3d83 ("srcu: Simplify __srcu_read_unlock() via this_cpu_dec()")

SRCU doesn't rely anymore on preemption to be disabled in order to
modify the per-CPU counter. And even then it used to be done from the API
itself.

Therefore and after checking further, it appears to be safe to remove
the preemption disablement around __srcu_read_[un]lock() in
exit_tasks_rcu_start() and exit_tasks_rcu_finish()
