Yeah, there is a window just as the scheduler is starting where things don't
work.

We could move rcu_scheduler_starting() later, as long as there
is no chance of preemption or context switch before it is invoked.
Would that help in this case, or are we already context switching before
acpi_os_map_cleanup() is invoked?  (If we are already context switching,
short-circuiting synchronize_rcu_expedited() would be a bug.)

							Thanx, Paul
