Ouch!!!

So it looks like I missed a place where I need to save and restore
the new per-CPU rcu_read_lock_nesting and rcu_read_unlock_special
variables. My (probably hopelessly naive) guess is that I need to add
a rcu_switch_from() and rcu_switch_to() into schedule_tail(), but to
make rcu_switch_from() take the task_struct pointer as an argument,
passing in prev.

Does this make sense, or am I still missing something here?

Thanx, Paul
