No, rcu_read_lock_bh() and rcu_read_unlock_bh() are unchanged in v4.20.
With the new RCU grace-period mechanism, local_bh_disable() blocks future
grace periods on its own.

Unless I am missing something (quite probable, actually), the v4.20
definitions of rcu_read_lock_bh() and rcu_read_unlock_bh() should work
as-is for -rt.
