In the current code, rcu_nmi_enter_common() might decide to turn on the tick using tick_dep_set_cpu(), but be delayed just before doing so. Then the grace-period kthread might notice that the CPU in question had in fact gone through a quiescent state, thus turning off the tick using tick_dep_clear_cpu(). The later invocation of tick_dep_set_cpu() would then incorrectly leave the tick on. This commit therefore enlists the aid of the leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock to ensure that decisions to enable or disable the tick are carried out before they can be reversed.
